Love inspirational sports movies with messages of hope and overcoming obstacles, especially when they are true. Tried to watch this on a flight, but gave up after 30 minutes. Other than being introduced to kids from difficult situations, no plot unfolded during that time. Winning scores randomly flashed across the screen periodaclly to show that they were having success as underdogs, but no unfolding storyline was evident other than hard times in a rough town.

This is another "Cinderella" type sports story that has become very popular. Running short on good stories, they shift to a team that was a powerhouse the year before in Abilene, Texas. Rather than focus on the football aspect, they look at the issues the main players have in their family life. Actors played all the real players and outtakes from the real games were used as filler. The religious aspect was comparatively light and Laurence Fishburne played a guy who owns a restaurant and not a coach.

Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

Dumb movie. Just shows clips of games and back stories of players. No plot. Don't waste your time. Would have been better made as a documentary. Bad actors too.
