ThiefHott Too much of everything

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

lucaswestblade I totally understand the want to rate the film highly because the message the film is send. The filming was fine and it seems the actors do a good job. The problem is that the story is not told well. It feels really disconnected and jumpy. Others have compared it to Remember the Titans and Friday Night Lights I disagree. In those movies I felt a connection to each character and watched them grow or connect with the viewer throughout the film. I really missed that here. I know I'm supposed to want Carter High to make it through the challenges it faces throughout the film, but I didn't feel an emotional connection to want the see Carter overcome.

Michael Ledo This is based on the true story of the David W. Carter high school in Texas during the 1988-1989 season. They had won the state championship but had players that misbehaved too much even for Florida State. The film includes actual footage of the games they played as well as messages from some of the players at the end of the film. While everyone in town was giving special favors for the team members, the judge did not. Fair performances. Script needed some more creative drama.Note the stylish razor cuts.Guide: 1 F-word as I recall. No sex or nudity.

mizike29 Gave this a 3, maybe a TV movie. Carter has had a couple WAY better movies. This one is TERRIBLE. B acting overall, story a mess, not sure what these other reviewers watched, but don't waste your time on this one. There is a reason why this movie didn't even make 150k, its just a TV movie at best. We have seen this concept plenty of times in better movies. Or just watch the TV series Friday Night Lights. That covers all of this and MUCH MUCH MUCH better. Or the Program, or Facing the Giants or When the Game stands Tall. I know this touches on a very specific event but its a common theme and done so commonly that there is nothing special about this movie at all.

godzella You all honestly thought this movie was good?Really? Just over an hour into the movie one of the characters pulls out a gun, there was a small glimmer of hope that one of those bullets were for me. This story was so badly written, there was no connection formed with any of the characters, so to be honest I really didn't care if they went to prison or Disneyland. I understand the sense that there was supposed to be a lesson learned here and that some decisions can change our lives forever. BUT with the lack of good back story etc i felt like the lesson was.....Don't be a loser and hold people up at gunpoint for fun.
