This biopic of football hero Ernie Davis didn't get much traction at the box office, but Universal will release the Blu-ray on January 20:

I looked inspirational. Will definitly give it a rent. Proly just follows the inspirational sports flick guideline and will bore me.

It actually is a good movie, horrible marketing, which accounts for your impression of the movie. very sad they took the ESPN approach. without telling why the story was vip. honestly, the marketing ad's/ trailers stunk, movie is great.

anyway, its a nice movie and alot less boring than prior post. it is a pretty good movie, not as "inspirational" as you think. yes it is uplifting, but not boring, not sugar coated and it is a great movie.

That said, universal home video is overpricing it alot!! $40?

sorry this flick ought to be $30 list.

I loved every minute of the movie, one of the best sports movies ever, definitely worth a buy.

Agreed. Great movie and the PQ/AQ were very very good. Too bad it didn't get more B.O. love.
