When I heard of this one, it looked pretty lame. I was pleasantly surprised when I finally watched it. Nelson is a pretty good actor - I no longer just think of him as Coach. He made his character serious and funny at the same time (the scene where he helps Shaver fix her car is the best). Like all made for TV movies, it could have been a lot better, but under the circumstances this is pretty good.

I have seen Craig T Nelson in many films but he sure gave a wonderful performance as Frank Shelby in this picture. It held me captive the entire time. This movie was put together extremely well and the performances by all the actors was superb. The writing, the screen play, the cinematography, the editing, and the directing were magnificent. It was a well balanced story between the life of the old guy (Frank) and the life of the young boy (Danny). Very heartfelt and very exciting. I love finding real gems like this to enjoy and recommend to my friends. It's too bad that this one hasn't achieved the attention it deserves. 7.4/10.
