You feel for the Marshall team, and probably for another 4 weeks your buddies will work the phrase "we are Marshall" in every conversation. The acting is decent, and it's gripping enough for you not to think "Ugh, not another lame McConaughey flick.
This movie was very close to my heart. My mom and my grandparents almost got on the plane that crashes in this movie but decided last minute to drive home. I thought the actors in the movie did a great job playing their roles. I think that this is the best movie in 2006.
To those in Hollywood who focus soley on how many people can die creatively in movies or how much filth they can put in a movie, this movie won't appeal to them. But the fact is this. . . this was truely tragic and it devestated our area. There are people that to this day cant speak of it. This film honored them, it honored the victims, and it honored our home. People have become so calloused by the bad entertainment that they can't recognize or enjoy a genuine story of triumph over adversity. Watch this movie. You won't be disappointed.
I cried and cheered the football team and university
I cried and cheered the Marshall Univerity Teams and student for over coming their tragedity. I am so glad they became one of the best football teams in the ninties. They honored the fallen teammates and coaches and alumini.

This movie appeals to teens and adults alike. I think it is a inspirational film about a tragic accident and how a town overcomes. Love it and recommend it as a family movie for parents with teens.
The tragedy and how it effected so many in the community really tugged at my heartstrings. To see how they were able to bounce-back should encourage anyone.
I am from West Virginia and I will buy the DVD if it kills me. It was so hard to watch but I loved it so much. Everyone must watch this even the little kids so long as the adult talks to them about the issues but they aren’t that big of a deal. so sad!!!
