Kevin, great appeal, but I think Matthew's arguments were more convincing.
Do either of you think my opinion would differ if I had seen the movie?

I have to go with Matt as well. I dislike sports movies in general because Hollywood has such a hard time admitting that "trying harder" won't necessarily make you good enough in sports. Movie audiences don't seem to mind war movies where the stronger, better equipped, better funded soldiers win (Black Hawk Down, any WWII flick, Behind Enemy Lines, Henry V, etc.), but for some reason, movie sports heroes should be old men, fat kids from disfunctional families, racists who can only win if they accept a black kid on the team, and so on. In fairness, I suppose I wouldn't go see a movie about the NY Yankee's winning - again - either.
