Gridiron Gang: a review

There's a great new, feel-good movie in town, starring the amazing "Rock" Johnson. Gridiron Gang is based on a true story about teenage boys in a detention center learning to walk tall (pun intended) as members of a reformatory football team. This movie is real entertainment. By that, I mean that it adheres to the first rule of good film-making: create characters the audience cares about. Combine that with some excellent game footage and a come-from-behind story line and you've got a terrific package. Go see it!

Great movie with an uplifting story! Be sure to stay for the credits and see some of the original documentary.
