Konterr
Brilliant and touching
Neive Bellamy
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This review is quite late but since I did happen to like the movie, I am reviewing this. Basically the story is about a cocky lacrosse player who lost his dad due to an accident while serving for the navy. Since then, Conner (played by Kellen lutz) sort of rebelled and decided to go lone wolf. He moved from his home town to a new one (One I forgot the name of) and joined the lacrosse team. He was disappointed to learn though that the couch of his new school's team did in fact value team sportsmanship, something Conner did not have. Conner has a few breakdowns, breaks the school's trophy case, and gets suspended from school and kicked off the lacrosse team. From there, he gets help from a friend of his father who teaches Conner sportsmanship and team leading through tedious labor. Conner learns the history of lacrosse as well.Although the movie is enjoyable and somewhat informational (lacrosse was portrayed somewhat wrong in the movie then how it is in real life), it is very predictable for lacrosse fans and oplayers. During the middle, the movie gets boring with all the scenes of Conner finding himself and whatnot. Towards the end though, it does get more enjoyable with the ending game scene that was pretty cool to see. When I say predictable, I mean that in the sense that people who know a lot about lacrosse will most likely figure out how Conner gets back on the team and what would happen in the game scene during the end of the movie. The checking/slashing in the movie was pretty spot on, although the moves made in the movie were a lot less practiced and were made with a lot less precision then a skilled lacrosse player in real life.Overall, I gave those movie 5/10 stars because like I said, it was enjoyable but very predictable and eventually boring for me. Hope that helped for anyone wondering about the movie, even in 2018

OMG. Usually I can laugh during bad movies. Or sometimes we'll make a drinking game & drink at every cliché, etc. This was so bad, we just drank. & we didn't laugh. Even the girls didn't like it. But I do have to admit that ever since Greene broke out a little- I've thought she is a Hottie. And that did go into the mix when selecting this one. So maybe we were asking for what we got. But watching this I can see why Greene got 2nd billing (Or maybe she's 3rd billing? or maybe even "Cameo plus"?)in the Twilight series. I guess youthful cuteness will only carry you so far. Don't get me wrong, she's still a Hottie but seeing her in a school girl outfit kinda makes it hard to remember she's 25 and I kinda felt bad for thinking that she's sexy. BUT anyway, in her defense-maybe she can act, you just couldn't tell in this thing. My advice-AVOID this one. If you need any help deciding, Xenon Pictures is apparently the only studio that would make this straight-to-DVD production. & Xenon films are, on the whole, best avoided.*if your wondering why I gave it 4 stars* 2 reasons: 1. because we didn't really watch the movie after about a quarter/third of the way thru the movie. It may have gotten better but if it did, we never noticed.2. The actors are young & the screenplay, direction & editing were pretty poor. ALL young actors do the coming of age, bittersweet movie. It's expected. So I hate to hold it totally against the two Twilight starlets just because someone made a bad choice of films...

The movie should have come with the warning sign,or may be it was there with the starting lines "this is the story of the guy I fell for",common!!! I should have kept off when I saw the twilight cast was there and of course lacrosse you could identify the importance of the game with the crowd gathered to watch it throughout the film.Story was bad and dialog's cliché.It was an amateur attempt to create a sports flick which I believe to be intriguing by itself with all the energy available. A lot seem to be out of place the story,direction,acting and the small budget clearly showed.Overall I think the movie failed cause I wasn't interested in the game before and now I'm pretty sure I'll never try.

"It's funny what you notice the first time you see someone, confidence, a nice smile, a little connection. What you don't see, what's impossible to know at first glance is everything else. At least everything that counts." Conor Sullivan (Lutz) is the best Lacross player on his team. The only problem is he is cocky and not a team player. When his dad is transfered across the country Conor has to start all over to make the team and prove that he is a team player. This movie is not terrible, but very cheesy and extremely predictable. Much like the recent faith-based movies all the problems in this movie seemed to be solved way to easy. To me a movie without a real push back against the lead actor seems boring and too cookie cutter like. While I can't really say anything bad about this movie because I did like it, I can't really say anything really good about it either because ten minutes in I could tell how it would end. That makes a movie boring to me. Overall, not a bad movie and if you like this kind of thing you will really enjoy it. I give it a B-.
