Movie review
From Time Out New York
American rugby is the setting for this earnest sausage party of macho posturing, bro-dacious life lessons and value-focused sportsmanship that give wayward teens the strength to rise above sinful temptations. Real-life coach Larry Gelwix (Cole) has made Salt Lake City’s Highland High School renowned for its unbeatable (and Maori-chanting) athletes, and his jock philosophy of turning young men into champions on and off the field is the inspirational engine driving an otherwise tired playbook of narrative hokum.Author: Stephen Garrett
