Amazon Review By Charles Lyons, Ph.D. 2/25/2007
The movie is exceptional. It is touching, gripping, tender and powerful. Are there scenes that could be predicted? Yes, some. However, is it more than refreshing to find a movie that has purpose more the puff, passion more than gratuitous violence, filth and profanity, meaning and substance rather than a feeling that you just wasted the better part of 90 minutes? Oh Yes, this is a movie to view, have and share!

If you take the time to explore the additional materials on the DVD you will find that some of those actors are people who bring more to the movie than acting. The doctor is a real doctor, the wife of the coach is the wife of a coach, team members who are supposed to be friends are team members who are friends. Even the sports announcer is a sports announcer. The additional material is worth exploring.

I'm not a big sports fan, let alone a sports movie fan. This movie is so much more than just a football movie. There is great change that takes place. There is great action and development and yes humor. Tough times do happen and yes sometimes God does answer yes to our prayers, not just wait and no. More important, faith does have a reward.

This movie is not a theological document and it is not a "religious" film. This is a movie that is worth the time if you are a professing believer or just would like to see something fresh. Equally, it is a movie that can be enjoyed if you are open to enjoying a good movie. I don't have to be an atheist to watch a non-Christian movie and get something out of it. You don't have to be a fundamentalist or evangelical to appreciate the strength of a story about success, victory and characters who actually have a strong marriage. Watch the movie.
