From the old bald guy: Very enjoyable and life-affirming. William H. Macy's interpretation of old Jack Buck is one of the centerpieces of this film. John Corbett's performance as John O'Leary's father is even more resonant. All the performances here were spot on. The pacing was excellent. The underlying truths of all this even more so. THere was a lot to take in here and I enjoyed every minute of it,

A number of the usual Hallmark formula story elements are blessedly missing. This allows all attention to be focused on the two superior leads (Warren Christie and Nikki DeLoach) and five charmingly naive football team members. The house setting is also well done as are the few scenes with the wealthy potential donor. Highly recommended.
