Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 4763659, member: 2500"] Watched "[B]National Champions[/B]" (Netflix) last night. It's a mixed bag - a football movie with no football action. It's extremely relevant, well-acted, suspenseful, and fast-moving, while at the same time often having trite dialogue, plot twists that seem gratuitous, and an unsatisfying ending. I recommend it because I think college sports fans will be engrossed with the message, details and presentation, as well as the behind the scenes stuff. It feels true, even though it's based on a stage play and ultimately comes off as unrealistic. But it is engaging and entertaining. I'd never heard of it, and no wonder - it only lasted two weeks at the box office, was a small budget film ($8 mil) and didn't even make $500K. But I think it'll do well on streaming as its audience will find it. [/QUOTE]
