Chance

What seemed like an emotional biopic just falls flat on its face. Too much time is spent on Chance as a young 6 and 12 year old, and when you get to the meat of the movie, you have no idea what's going on. Should have been more build up. To add insult to injury, the movie ends with no explanation to what happen to the characters, or any aftermath. Seriously who was responsible for the tragedy? Were the true culprits caught? It was clear that this movie was put together by Chance's real life coach, Mike Daly, and although he is an amazing coach, one has to wonder if he put this movie together to promote himself.

After you watch the film, talk to your children about their daily struggles. Excellent baseball movie with a message.

It never explained the ending. Who was sending the texts to Colton? Was it Chance or one of his team mates. They kept showing one particular team mate. Could it be that he was jealous of Chance. Coach Mike favored Chance. I hate endings like that, especially if it's a true story. I'm sure in this day and age all texts messages were confiscated and it was determined whose phone the threats were coming from. Too much time spent on Chase. His coach and mother should have gotten him help. He was a poor loser. I felt very sorry for Colton. He took the brunt of it. He was innocent yet everyone believed he did it.

Absolutely boring, as well as confusing, and just was not what I expected at all. This movie could have been made so much better, because it truly is a good story, but it totally fails to entertain, especially the first half! I am truly sorry and saddened that all of this really happened, but if the movie was done better, it really could reach the hearts and minds of a lot more youth!!

"Chance" is a really personal film that captures the complexities of adolescence.
