I like the director a great deal, and I like most of the actresses in this film so so much, too, but it…just didn’t work. It’s not a bad movie; it’s not an unenjoyable hour …

…It’s a football movie, what can you say. It’s like Chinese food — hard to do really well, hard to screw up really badly. I liked this one a lot; I like Peter Berg as …
