Go see it! First time I've heard applause in a movie theatre in a loonnnggg time!

I saw the trailer and it looks real good. If the theater audience was applauding, it has to be a must see. What did you think of it?

First you have to realize that I was in college in the time frame the movie is set, so the soundtrack blew me away from the very start - bringing back a flood of memories. The sandlot football games brought back some good memories as well. The movie is excellently done, from start to finish, with a very good cast. You won't see any big names in the cast, but you will see a lot of familiar faces, as whoever did the casting seemed to want to avoid a big name. I thought that was a smart move, because the story has to sell itself without the benefit of a big-draw movie star.
My wife is not a big football fan, but she really enjoyed it just the same. So that tells me it will win over a lot of doubters if they give it a chance.
Ticket prices hurt ($8.50 each in Daytona, ouch!!!), but I would have paid $10 to see it if I had known it was going to be that good.
I don't think any football fan will be disappointed, especially if you ever played the game, and had a dream.... [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

what station and what time.....ive heard about it...

What you said ut1 i wish all these kids could have those memories and those dreams.
Some still do. But not like it use to be.
I talk to a lot of kids who never get into anything, at their schools, and then don't realize it till their out, what they missed, in the memories and friendship categories.
I wanted to see this movie the first time i seen the preview, i think what you said, makes me want to now see it even more.

I didn't even grow up in those times like you guys. But that movie, and the music did bring back a lot of memories for me as well.
I will also say, it's exactly like the city life was... and still is, up in good ole Baltimore.
I love the city, and how a group of guys, etc will be friends for life, growin up on the same block, then bars, etc.. i guess ya guys get the drift... that's how it still is up there, and i love it..
maybe that didn't have anything to do with this post haha, but hey...

No i think you nailed it to steer.
I have friends i made playing the game from p-nut to varsity, in several sports.
I don't see them often as we would like to. But any time we do meet, it's all about the friendships we all developed. Where is this person how are they, how is their family. And about any of them will be on the phone to you in a minute, the minute they know something is wrong. And even if there is nothing wrong. They all call and check on each other and to see how others are and their families. That is hard to beat today. And it started out just some folks together to do something at school, but life long friendships and memories were made.
Don't see that very often. That is what the friendships and memories are all about.
You and ut1 nailed it pretty good.
Hopefully some of these kids who don't participate or take an interest in their schools or programs, will read this and maybe re-think some things.
I think it helps all the way around when a person is involved in some thing at their school.

just watched it on DVD today and very good story. The "making of" with the real Vince is a great special fearture in itself. Did you know the real Vince had a few seconds in the movie as a coach?
yeah, worth buying
