The Goal

It's obvious that this film was made with little or no resources.But I found it to be truthful and realistic in the approach of telling what families go through when tragedy strikes.It doesn't matter whether your tragedy is a spinal cord injury or just a great loss of a life from the one you once knew.This story will Inspire and Encourage you.If it doesn't then you have no heart or compassion. It's a shame that this movie hasn't been out there in the way Facing the Giants has,because it's as every bit as good,if not better.Yes they touch on Christian belief,and they didn't have some big point where the main character was converted to Christianity,but his family was a family of faith before a tragic accident,and they stayed true to their faith.They told their story and belief in a way without beating you over the head with the Bible or Christianeese. This movie should be broadcast on lifetime,or cable somewhere.It has the ability to Inspire and Encourage many people.These athletes featured in this story are amazing.As an athlete I'm sure some athletes may find this sappy,but it's life is not always about being the tough guy.I say great job to the Cast and Crew,and I hope they continue to do more films like The Goal.

I liked the movie, really puts a story and faces to some of the guys who play this game. I am proud of Ryan Parker who plays of Steve George for his performance in this movie. Thank you to Darla Rae, the director she directed an excellent movie. The real athletes put a lot of guts in this sport and I wish them continued success. I wish the actors and the athletes tremendous luck on their continued film festival road from Denver. I know its heading to Milan and it will do great. I would have to say two thumbs up. I hope everyone to where the movie is heading goes and see's it and it does well. Excellent film photography and enjoyed meeting some of the actors and athletes after the movie ended. Thanks for filming in Denver.

In a time when it's all about the money, it is good to know that passion and stick-to-it can get you so far. Darla Rae has brought an incredible array of local talent and resources to bear to create a genuine, emotional and inspirational movie to life. It is something many people may not get, but those who are ready to realize their own lives, their own mortality and their own blessings will embrace and cherish. I hope more people will get to see how important every person's life is and see that this movie is truly about how each and every one of us has something we are struggling with. The movie takes an approach not often seen - that of the people who really struggle with an accident, not just the injured person, but all those that it affects. And finally, that even after such a tragedy, that their can be a new, albeit, a different life. Thank you Darla for your enduring perspiration to bring this to the world!

I was injured in a motorcycle accident where it was not my fault,and I lost my desire to live and my wife brought it home and left it for me to watch. It not only helped my family have a true understanding of what I was going through it helped me to see that I had choices.

This movie was a great inspiration to me and my family and I know it will inspire you whether you are in a chair or just facing a major setback in your life.

I enjoyed the camping and rugby scenes and the relationship between the guys,and when the crazy nurse takes him out of his room and his family was waiting for him. The nurse was really funny and she reminded me of some of the crazy nurses that I had in the hospital.

This is definitely a family film which you don't have to worry about being embarrassed in mixed company. Great job!Thanks to the cast and crew for making this film. It really helped us.

Truly one of a kind very inspirational. the story of The Goal is well made. my favorite part is when the camera is on the dolly entering through the aisle of the church. camera work and shots seem to be fluent and well planned out. the actors also did a very good job. I also like the locations as well. camera cuts are perfect and match to each new scene change. the hospital scene is also another favorite. the music fits every scene perfectly. Darla Rae has brought you an inspirational film that the whole family can watch. I found it to be truthful and realistic in the approach of telling what families go through when tragedy strikes. Darla has shown us miracles can happen. Congrats to the cast and crew, you all did an excellent job.
