  It's a pretty decent film. There's a lot of cliches and the classic father-son relationship issue that we all see in sports films, but it wasn't too bad. Rick Penning had a pretty bad attitude for most of the film, but somehow I managed to like his character near the end. I like to see characters develop into a completely different one, and he definitely did. I felt like the video was sort of rushed. I didn't really get a good background on Rick until after the car accident. It was okay though. I'd most likely watch it again. :)

  Cast: Gary Cole, Sean Faris, Neal McDonough, Sean Astin, Arielle Kebbel, Penn Badgley, Olesya Rulin, Julie Warner, Nathan West, Max Kasch Director: Ryan Little Summary: Rick (Sean Faris) is a star player on his dad's rugby team until a DUI lands him in a reformatory. While he's serving his sentence, tough rival coach Larry Gelwix (Gary Cole) allows him to play for his team, which helps Rick straighten up his act. Upon his release, however, Rick becomes a pariah to his former teammates and even his father when he refuses to divulge Gelwix's strategies. My Thoughts: "I am a complete sports film nerd. I love them, and probably rate them higher then what they actually deserve to a non-sports loving person. But I really enjoyed this one, and it's always better when the film is based on true events. It has good acting, an inspiring story, and a lot of heart. I am even more impressed that their is a coach out there like this. Coach Gelwix has some really great quotes in the film like, "I'm more interested in turning out champion boys than champion teams", and "I want you to be forever strong on the field so you will be forever strong off it". Other coaches should take note. Sean Faris is really good in the film. He goes through the motions like a pro. Rugby is a tough sport, kudos to those who play it. Great sports flick, see it if you like them, skip it if you don't. But it's a good story either way."

  During the trailer, I was like: no no no no no no no! But during the movie I was like: yes yes yes yes yes yes! This was actually a really good sports drama!

  My neices are in love with these young boys, so they made me watch it with them. I have to say it was a pretty decent movie, a little touching. The main character plays rugby for his high school and gets into some trouble. He is sent to juvi where he starts playing rugby for another… More
  My neices are in love with these young boys, so they made me watch it with them. I have to say it was a pretty decent movie, a little touching. The main character plays rugby for his high school and gets into some trouble. He is sent to juvi where he starts playing rugby for another school and turns his life around for the better, but trouble seems to follow him.

  [b][size=5][color=blue]FOREVER STRONG (2008)[/color] [/size] [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/custom/55/10010155.jpg[/img] [color=green]Film za ljubitelje ragbija i prave muškarce, jer kako se u ovom filmu tvrdi fudbal je za seka-perse, a ragbi za prave muškarce... Jedan od mnogobrojnih filmova sa pozitivnom porukom u razvoju omladine preko sporta (film je snimljen po istinitom dogaðaju). Rick Penning je dobar igraè ali bez discipline, u stvari više voli da sa društvom popije nego da pošteno trenira... dok se ne dogodi nesreæa... i on završi u zatvoru, gde se sve menja. [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/gallery/1201192/photo_10_hires.jpg[/img] Odluka da li da prihvati novi naèin života bez laži i uvek najnapornijeg treninga ili da se vrati na staro, bez obaveza i napredka. Donešena odluka iznenaðuje sve, posebno njegovog oca. U ovom filmu æe uživati posebno starija generacija tinejdžera, ali i roditelji uvek mogu naæi izgovor da ga pogledaju. Poruka filma je vera u bolje pojedince kao deo društva, što svima nama, na kom bilom kraju sveta da smo, uvek treba! [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/gallery/1201192/photo_12_hires.jpg[/img] Nažalost zbog pomalo klimave režije Ryan Little-a, i malo klimavijeg scenarija i glume (Gary Cole, Sean Faris, Arielle Kebbel, Julie Warner) – za bioskopsko gledanje 5/10. Ali nije loše pogledati ovaj film na DVD-ju sa društvom![/color] [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/gallery/1201192/photo_07_hires.jpg[/img][/b]
