Gridiron Gang

This movie gets a thumbs-up from both Don and I for entertainment value and the non-fictional content. They didn't sensationalize the violence, so you could really get into the human side of things.

It is a lot like "The Longest Yard", maybe too much, but I liked this story better. We are not a sports family, so the football in it just goes right over my head. But it kind of draws you in, and I spent most of the time tensed up with anticipation, or some kind of feeling like that. There were 2 times that I got "emotional", but so did Don 8O

'The Rock" is not a bad actor...not great, but not bad....He is very easy on the eyes, though, so I thoroughly enjoyed watching him :wink:

It is based on a true story, and maybe folks in LA are familiar with the youth detention camp that it is about.

Jason's been wanting to see this one. Not sure when we'll find the time, but glad to hear you gave it a good review. :)
Ya this was a pretty good movie, although the violence in the opening scene seemned alittle much compared to the rest of the movie. I did like it, but be ready for inspirational speeches galore!!

I enjoyed it and think The Rock is a surprisingly good actor :)

I'd give it a B- probably. Wasn't excellent, and you go into it knowing you've seen 100 football movies like this, so it has a lot to hold up to.
