Friday Night Lights (2004)
It's decent as these things go for a while, but then there's the climax. Oy. It pushes the underdog button too hard in all the wrong ways, so that my mind was actively rejecting the film even as I was involved in it. If you give a damn at all about football, this might be worth a look. Otherwise, who cares. For all the hot air this movie blows about winning and losing and as hard as it tries to be about something other than the sport, it's just another damn sports-cliche movie. At least there's Billy Bob, dependable as always.
Grade: C+
