Playing the Crease

Acting was very bland, not much fun to watch. I feel like the people reviewing it are being paid to give it good reviews or something. Wasn't impressed.

This is an entertaining movie that intertwines the struggles of a young athlete and adult crime victim. It has the feel of Karate Kid but with a focus on youth hockey and disabilities. One theme demonstrates that it often takes another person to encourage and relate to in order to find the determination to overcome obstacles in life. In this case it is two very different people with very different and difficult obstacles that meet in a serendipitous way. The two main characters find ways to motivate and help each overcome their personal struggles. Teens and adults will find this movie entertaining and relatable. I recommend you watch the movie.

Apparently those rating this movie over 1 star are connected to it in some way. This has got to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The acting is laughable. The movie is not even about Hockey. Bad on all fronts! Terrible writing. Simply silly! I don't normally comment on movies, but this one was so poorly done, Don't waste your time watching. Both the kid and the so called coach were just terrible. I rented this because I thought it was a hockey movie. Worse than a Hallmark movie that tried to evoke emotions but fell short. I almost turned it off but thought it would get better, a complete waste of time!

My sons loved this movie and wouldn't stop talking about it. Lots of positive messages, and the cast did a fantastic job.

There are so many movies out in the world about this message, life is hard, the horrible thing about this is everyone in the movie is saying how bad this little boy is doing saying he can't make it. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
