This is going to be difficult but…I’m sorry Steve Howey, but I just have to come right out and say it, you were only good in Reba and you cannot do drama very well. I guess that wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be (that’s what she said). Anyway, if I broke this movie down by its plot and its acting, really it wouldn’t be that bad. But put it all together and it…well, is. Maybe I am just too cynical of sports type movies but I think that they really get off too easy (that’s what she said). I mean, everybody just accepts that the plot of the movie is going to be bad, but they don’t care because it’s going to have sports in it. I think that is ridiculous! I don’t think that a movie should be allowed to get made unless it actually has the full package; acting, a good script; and a bad ass director who can make it all come together. What is with our general acceptance of how some movies are just meant to be bad and we are just supposed to deal with it? The three main genres that get away with this are horror, dance movies and sports movies. Someone has got to put an end to it! When will we finally stand up for ourselves and say: “WE WANT TO WATCH MOVIES ABOUT SPORTS AND NOT HAVE OUR IQ DROP 10 POINTS AT THE SAME TIME!”? What is so hard about making a movie like “The Blindside” or “Remember the Titans”? Those movies were able to integrate sports WITH good acting and plots.

Anyway, that is really all I have to say about this movie…which if I look back on it, really isn’t much about the movie at all but just about bad movies in general. I really do have a new found respect for half way decent movies now because I know that there are a lot of much more horrible movies out there that I have unfortunately had the opportunity to watch.
