I don't think many people saw this movie, but I just rented it and watched it!

I actually auditioned for this movie over two years ago, I was a finalist but seeing has I have a lack of any acting experience ... ever ... I was not chosen haha. It's a pretty good movie...about soccer and such so why wouldn't it be? :) But no, it really is pretty good. It's not an earth-shattering, life-changing kind of movie but it's still pretty good.

Anyone else seen it?

I really liked it. Gracie was cool. She wasn't a superhuman, but she worked her butt off, and I completely respect that. It was an especially good movie for me to see as I was working on getting in shape for West Point (and still am, incidentally :P). I didn't think it was sappy either. It was surprisingly realistic, in fact. So yeah, I liked it.

It actually almost is a real story. It's about the Shue family! :) Gracie is Elizabeth Shue, Johnny is Will Shue that died, and then the two brothers and the whole family played soccer!

Thank you, special features! :)
