I liked it, but not quite as much as the TV show, which I am ADDICTED to. I don’t know, maybe it’s just because I saw the show first and it’s more modern and the boys are cuter. The show and the movie have a similar feel though, with the handheld videotaping, the choppy scenes, and the soundtrack by the same band, Explosions in the Sky. Good movie, WAY better than the book.

I’m actually from Midland, Texas and believe it or not was a senior at Midland High in 1989, the year in which this film is set. All of west Texas is consumed with highschool football. A great sports story and totally true.

I love this movie. I didn’t think it was going to be interesting, but yeah. I was proven wrong.
