For once, here's a sports movie that doesn't feature players who are expected to lose.

An exciting family picture, worthy of viewing, if only for the warm-fuzzy feeling.

Stereotypes are meant to exalt small-town values, but The Final Season is proof that it's hard to paint masterpiece in broad strokes.

Perhaps if Disney had gotten their hands on it, The Final Season would have gotten the spitball polish it needs.

Why is it enjoyable to watch sporting events depicted when we know how the games will end -- how they have to end? Where does the tension come from? Why do we care when we know already?
