Football Movie #2
(Please click the links to read my reviews of North Dallas Forty, Semi-Tough,
The Longest Yard, The Program, and Any Given Sunday)
Synopsis: Depressed
Texas town takes high school football waaaaaay too seriously.
Blurb From the VHS
Jacket: “A genuine stand-up-and-cheer movie about a courageous high school
football team’s fight to fulfill their destiny and live their dream, Friday
Night Lights is ‘unforgettable and real!’ (Larry King).”
What Did I Learn?:
In some Texas communities, the football coach earns more than the principal to
whom he reports.
You Might Like This
Movie If: You believe the people of the Great State of Texas made a wise decision to expend so much of their time, enthusiasm and resources into an activity that encourages teenagers to pound the crap out of each other.
Really?: No
matter how upset a drunk, middle-aged man might get with his son, I had a hard
time believing he would ever throw his cherished State Championship ring out
the window of a moving car.
Rating: Friday
Night Lights is an excellent film, and well worth viewing even if you aren’t a
gridiron fan (and I’m certainly not); the movie makes the viewer genuinely care
about the coach (Billy Bob Thornton) and his players, even though it never
glamorizes football or glosses over the brutality and unfairness of the game. Friday Night
Lights is packed with great performances – Thornton’s advice about making the
most out of the short end of the stick will stay with me for a long time.
Highly Recommended. 10/10 stars.
