So it's a true story, Oprah validates it at the end, and you won't find fault with any acting or craftsmanship involved in this film. But it's also oh so painfully predictable - regardless of fact or fiction - and it just detracts from making this a really good film. Too Disneyfied? If you had to rewatch either "Safety" or "Remember the Titans" from the Disney football library, which one would you choose?
Regardless, Messrs Reeves & Mixson are good and pleasant to watch, Mr Sansone has a really great voice, and Ms Foxx is surprisingly electric - right up until the NCAA hearing scene, when her wardrobe just didn't make sense. Okay, my subjective #firstworldproblems. The bottom line is during this particular era, when we're streaming everything in sight, there are probably worse ways to spend two hours. Chill & enjoy.
