MOVIE: Go Tigers!
NUTSHELL: Documentary about an Ohio town whose enthusiasm for their high school football team may be too extreme and a detriment to other things like… education
GOOD THINGS: Some funny parts and the main kids profiled are interesting. I was glad to find out what happened to them at the end of the film.
BAD THINGS: Mostly typical and manipulative, I have had it up to here with aren’t-small-towns-just-so-wacky???? documentaries.
FEATURES: Projectile vomiting and a lot of it, a really insane senior citizen lady, pep rallies, parades and large coaches. Maybe that should be in caps – LARGE coaches.
UNCOMFORTABLE MOMENTS: See “Bad Things”
NOTABLE: It’s astonishing that a documentary about a town’s obsession with their high school football team is not about some place in Texas.
BEST PART: Naysayers montage!
BEST LINE: He had colic as a babe and it just never stopped.
CROWNS: 3 out of 5
