This movie was amazing to me. Football in Texas is big, bigger than life, and it is amazing how the townspeople pin their own hopes and dreams on their boys. There are lots of things here to learn: don't live vicariously through your children, education first (Chavez vs Miles), beware of the pressure you put on your kids, new defn of "perfect", love, teamwork. Awesome movie but don't take kids less than 13 or 14 years old.

This is a really good movie, but the Common Sense review failed to accurately warn about the sexual content. In addition to the talk about "getting laid", it also depicts two characters getting dressed just after they have had sex, and another two characters who are stripping down to have sex when they are interrupted. Both scenes stopped just short of being objectionable for viewing with our 13 year old, but I would have liked to have been warned.

The best high school football movie and show!!! it was really powerful and sad! ever1 should see this once!

This movie was one of the best movies i have ever seen. You don't have to understand football to enjoy this movie. There are some sexual refernces and scenes but they have nothing to do with the story so you can fast forword them. 10 and up.

wow i'm like a big football fan so i had to see this movie and it was even better than i thought it would be this is the best football movie ever

Okay, this movie is ONLY for people who are COMPLETE football fans - no one else will be able to understand any of it. I did not understand any of it, and would have enjoyed "Barney Goes to the Zoo" more. There are also explicit sexual situations in the beginning that takes place at parties where everyone is drunk.
