Editorial Review: Product Description: A stand-up-&-cheer movie about a courageous high school football teams fight to fulfill their destiny & live their dream. A true story about how one legendary texas town made hope come alive. One of the greatest sports stories ever told is now one of the greatest sports movies. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 05/22/2007 Starring: Billy Bob Thornton Lucas Black Run time: 118 minutes Rating: Pg13 Amazon.com: Based on the perennial nonfiction bestseller by H.G. Bissinger, Friday Night Lights looks at high school football in the harsh light of reality, finding heart and hardness while stirring our emotions. Actor-director Peter Berg (Very Bad Things, The Rundown) is Bissinger's cousin; he knows the material well, and understands how an obsession with winning turns high school kids into somber, over-pressured gladiators--expendable soldiers in a community war against shame and obscurity. The fact-based story focuses on the 1988 football season of Odessa-Permian high school in West Texas, and as a fast-paced sports movie, Berg delivers the goods with a rousing, frenetically styled crowd-pleaser. But there's darkness in this tale of weary underdogs, including an abusive father (well-played by country music star Tim McGraw), threatening townsfolk, an injured star running back (Derek Luke), a tormented quarterback (Lucas Black), and the melancholy coach (Billy Bob Thornton) who takes his team to the finals. Berg's film could use less flashy cutting and more drama to support its gridiron intensity, but Friday Night Lights offers a refreshing alternative to the conventional sports movie, and makes a perfect triple-feature with the equally exciting documentaries Go Tigers! and The Last Game. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Friday Night FreebeeGot the product for $0.16, the shipping and handling was what killed me. Video was in perfect condition. Great deal, great movie. Rating:  - Wrong DVD zoneThe DVD I received was not compatible with my DVD player. It is only compatible with US DVD players and not european ones. Im therefore unable to see the film. Rating: - Action PackedThe playing of the game was action packed and the ending was real something that would happen in real life.. things don't always go your way in life and this movie depicts this concept. In addition, there was also a story besides just the football and what a lot of these school kids went through in thier home life. Very realistic and I enjoyed it and have watched it more than once. I recommend this movie to all.... Rating: - Let's get ready to rumbleI am a woman. I am a woman who doesn't follow sports much in real life, nor do I watch movies about sports. The only reason I picked this up was because I have a thing for Garrett Hedlund as eye candy and I am a fan of Billy Bob Thornton. I could care less about a football movie. Still, this was a good movie. Following in the footsteps of the great sports movies (The Natural, Rudy, Rocky, etc.), we are rooting for the underdog and feeling a great joy when someone triumphs over a great obsticle. ...

Miles, this movie and the recognition this team and individuals received would have never come about. One comes to the conclusion that Miles's misfortune has followed him in many ways into adulthood. The flaw of the movie is the many unanswered question marks left behind. For instance, was the mother of our QB hero sick or addicted ? What was the clasroom ... Read More
