 Greatest football movie ever August 19, 2010
Larry (New Jersey)
I have to say that I loved this movie. I'm also a huge football fan, but this movie is so much more then just football. Its about a small window in your life called high school. Its about playing the game you love with guys you grew up with. This is big time high school football in Texas. Even if you don't like football, see this movie, if just for the fact the last 15 minutes of this movie will make you stand up and cheer.
Being a graduate of a Texas high school... August 7, 2010
D. Navarro (the U.S.)
...this film brought back memories of my high school experience and reminded me once again that God ranks a sad second to Football in Texas. The film is based on a season in the life of the Odessa Permian Panthers, a powerhouse team that has appeared with frequency in the Texas State Championship over the last 50 years. A little bit of research revealed that the film is not historically accurate, but that is not the point of the film. This film is about the about the pressure to win put on the high school players by the citizens of Odessa, including friends and family.
The most visible role is played by Thornton, who plays the recently arrived head coach, Gary Gaines, but the other actors play their parts well, too. For me, the film accurately portrays life in Texas high schools with a mixture of Anglo (read "White"), Black, and Hispanics, all living side-by-side, taking a boy's game with the seriousness of adults. Some of it was over the top, but hey, it's a movie. The memories it evoked had special significance for me and I believe many people will identify in some way with the coming-of-age story.

I love the Friday Night Lights tv show, and had always wanted to see the movie. It was different, but also excellent. :)

Previous reviews made this company seem reputable, but when I got my dvd it was scratched, the audio and video were so terrible I couldn't keep it and the writing on the package was half in Spanish.
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SELLER
