    Good family entertainment with a Hoosiers or Breaking Away feel. The good guys win and the bad/bud guys get thiers.

    I liken this movie to a cross between "The Rookie" and "Heart Like A Wheel". I wish it would have gotten the wide release it deserved - especially in light of the movies making it to the screens nowadays. It couldn't do worse.

    The drama gets stuck in a dispiritingly dull rut and fails to build toward what is supposed to be a something of a crowd-rousing triumph over adversity.

    Madison peddles condescending hokum as heartland values.

    Madison couldn't be more wholesome if they served it with a tall glass of fresh milk.
