Reno7 May 16, 2017**You can achieve big being what you are.** A sports-biography, about an American footballer who came over many obstacles to become a successful player in college level league. Being a fat and youngest in his family, he had to go a long way to become what he wanted to be. This is an inspiring film for sports aspirants. Decently made film by an unknown director with good performances in it. Whatever it is, or you call it, for me it is a B movie, a fine one. Neal McDonough was the most recognisable face around and he was the backbone of the film after the lead character. The story was told from his perspective and was a bit emotional film than I thought. I don't know this game at all, but I can know what's going on, particularly hard working people to achieve some big in their life. It is not a popular American film among Americans itself, but if you had heard about it and looking for a confident boost, this will do fine. Usually people would say a film like this is a must see, but I think it is worth a watch rather to call it not to be missed. _7/10_

tmdb516161676 Sep 3, 2024This is a highly motivational story about an individual who demonstrates unwavering determination to pursue their goals and aspirations. The film succeeds in capturing the audience's attention and providing an exciting and engaging viewing experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this movie to others for its inspirational content. However, I found the portrayal of bullying in the film to be somewhat confusing. While the character's brother was initially depicted as aggressive, there were instances where he displayed moments of love and moments of hate, creating inconsistency in his character development. This inconsistency detracted from the overall coherence of the story, leading to some confusion for viewers. Despite this minor flaw, the movie as a whole is a positive and worthwhile watch. It offers valuable lessons and an inspiring narrative that is sure to resonate with audiences. I believe that giving this film a chance and watching it will prove to be a rewarding and enriching experience.
