Good stuff. Surprised that Disney would let that scene go but it was great. BTW watching the movie now hence the thread. Plus a ton of talent in the movie.

Sappy, cheesy and cliched movie that sucked then and still sucks. Probably could have filmed 2 hours of people singing kum-bay-ah and holding hands instead.
One of Denzel's worst.

Where do I stop? We've seen this movie 6 bazillion times. It just tried to hard IMO and came off as corny and sappy.

It is a Disney film, I think you hit all the checks. I grew up after the school BS. Black kids were bussed in and color didn't matter on the field or on the court. Pretty much everyone else it did. I love getting to grow up with that advantage because playing sports.

Hey, man, that's great that you like it. I'm just saying I didn't.
Instead of trying to make a movie around a good story, they made a movie around a bunch of tired cliches to "teach" us all something.

Just watched this a few weeks ago. Great movie. Cheesy, schmaltzy but still great.

Too bad that never happened. 90 percent of that movie is inaccurate.

All the right moves was great because it had an awesome bush shot, not because of Tom's thumb.All the right moves was set in my back yard and didn't think that was real authentic either put I hear you can see Tom's thumb. Just from a Scream movie reference......can u verify

Who cares. But I do remember thinking there is no way high school football players in the 60's would not be off the charts homophobic.

The worst part of playing football as a soph was getting paddled. Nothing else scared you more.

I guess it would not have been hard to find on my own. Thank you. Nothing from Boone?

Pet peeve of mine. Especially when it is this badly "Hollywooded up"
They never danced for pregame warm ups.
The guy that got in the car accident didn't get into the accident until after the season.
The white guy that was qb, was always the qb. There was no lineman that missed a block on purpose
Qb never kissed a guy.
All the teams were black and white.
Championship game was like 66 - 7
The guy that got in the accident and the black guy weren't best friends that hung out or hated each other.

Maybe, I only read this like 8 years ago and have hated the movie ever since.
msudaisy26
Footballguy
Pretty much, and like I said it just bothers me. I also hated Lone Survivor, Money ball and a few others.

I hear you. Pretty much assume Disney movie is going to ham it up.That being said I enjoyed the movie, cheese and all.

The two schools that merged both had top 5 teams the previous year, so they knew they were going to crush everybody as one team. The Titans didn't play a close game all year, and the defense gave up negative net yards on the season.

They had one close game, but in reality this was just a dominate football team and they added in the race factor to make it a compelling story.

A classic. Came out right in that sweet spot of adolescence when I was 13, still beloved by our whole group of friends.

The sad part is even if you google search a topic and find an old thread it is most likely archived and you can't reply to it. Thanks upgrade!
