This was a textbook sports movie. Lots of melodrama and adversity for the players and coaches to deal with both on and off the field. Will they rise above it all? If you saw the trailer, you pretty much saw the movie as it is formula in every way. That being said, I am a sucker for these movies and this one was no different.
I would somewhat recommend people checking this movie out. It's not a must see by any means. It is an enjoyable sports movie though for people that like those.
