Heartwarming and moving
I'm rather ashamed to admit that I'd never seen this film until today. Likely because I'm not a fan of American football, but watching this that didn't matter as it's a really great film.

You know you can't really go wrong with a Denzel Washington film, and he puts a stellar performance in here (although I really wish his character wouldn't chew gum so much urgh). The entire cast is great and there are some big names in this in their early years, the most notable being Hayden Panettiere who pretty much steals every scene she's in. The plot itself is very Disney but is a lot more serious than you'd expect and doesn't shy away from focusing on the integration and racial tensions of the time. It's difficult to watch at times yet still heartwarning and moving when you see the development of the characters. There are maybe a few cheesy cliched lines which isn't entirely a surprise considering it's a Disney film, but it did make me cringe once or twice.

However despite this slight criticism, this really is a fantastic film with a moving, serious story and a brilliant cast. Even if you're like me and not a fan of American football, this is still worth a watch.

Ahhhh, the first tale of Jessica, The Sociopathic Hosebeast and Elizabeth, the Holier Than Thou Doormat.

See, Elizabeth really likes Todd and Jessica's not into it because life should be ALL JESSICA! ALL THE TIME! So, she engages in several nasty shenanigans and basically accuses Todd of trying to rape her. Charming.

Jessica is also dazzled by Rick Andover, who uses cheesy pickup lines and takes Jessica to a bar on the first date. Teenage alcoholics are hawt!

There's a big deal made over the football field and the Powlers and the Fatmans and the new lawyer Ned is working with.
