Friday Night Lights....
Yeah yeah...I know..another movie thread....I guess im on a movie kick tonight......so who is gonna go check this one out? I read the book about 10 years ago or so and its a classic...I hope the movie captures the spirit of it. There is nothing like Texas High School Football....

Absolutely sucks. Great comedy though. There's a cheerleader that gets her shit tossed. Other than that...boring.
Seriously don't go.

Odessa Permian was/is a pretty bad A$$ H.S. Football program and so is Dallas Carter. Living in Texas all my life, I'm pretty familar with the state's best H.S. programs. Friday nights here are pretty special.

And I honestly don't know what rotten tomatoes reviewers are thinking. It has no dialog (very good atleast) and the acting sucks. It combines every other football movie and adds the Playmaker's camera crews. Youll see what I mean. Then again, people could like it, but the crowd i was with thought it was a great comedy, sucky football movie. PS, ITS PREDICTABLE

I'll probably still see it on DVD, but after hearing your opinion of it... I don't think I go to the trouble of trying to see it in a theater. |

I read the book a while back and it was a great depiction of how obsessed small towns can be with their sports programs. According to reviewers on ESPN.com, the movie scores high in that it is pretty true to the book, moreso than a lot of "true story" sports movies. |

I've always wanted to read this book but haven't ever gotten around to buying it... I think I want to read it before ever seeing the movie.
