A Cinderella Story (26%)

Plot: High school football rules in Massillon, Ohio. In this blue-collar community, dubbed "Touchdown Town" in a 1951 newsreel, the Washington High Tigers are a cradle-to-grave passion. Team boosters visit ...( read more read more... )maternity wards and bestow footballs to newborn "little Tigers." A mortician offers customers Tiger theme caskets. This winning documentary, ranked by ESPN.com as among the six best sports documentaries of all time, chronicles the Tigers' pivotal 1999 season--its 106th!--in which the team's success or failure on the field could impact an upcoming tax levy to save the town's beleaguered schools. Filmmaker and Massillon native Kenneth Carlson is no mere cheerleader. He tackles the touchy issue of priorities (some parents hold promising eighth graders back so they will be bigger and stronger) and the town's Stepfordian devotion to the team that put it on the map ("Conform or be destroyed," states one disaffected youth). More inspiring are the profiles of the team's three captains, in whom one can see the positive role football plays in their lives. --Donald Liebenson

    As a documentary it was well put together and everything but the subject matter was annoying. Especially the scene with the party where they totally glorified and were accepting of the underage drinking and everything. I just hate any sort of situation when someone is forced into a role that they might not have wanted. Like having to go into the family business because that's the way it is or something like that.
