I'm a sucker for football movies with a positive, uplifting message. This one is based on the book of the same name and is the story of a Warren De La Salle high school and their 12-year, 151-game winning streak. Faith-based movies are fine with me but this one lays on the platitudes a little heavy -even though a lot of them actually were said or happened in real life. This one also messes with the facts for no apparent reason. Finally, a lot of the characters are made-up composites. And yet...it mostly works. I enjoyed it a lot - wife liked it a lot more than me. I'd say 7/10.
