Everyone should see this movie!
Added 2/6/2010
An especially poignant movie that shows a determination to recovery from tragedy and adversity. One of the assistant coaches at Marshall eventually left the university and taught science at my high school until his retirement. Great man; great movie.

I purchased this DVD to see Matthew Fox. As it began, I realized I remembered the incident upon which it is based. Thoroughly enjoyable, but be prepared to be moved to tears at times.

How To Respond After Tragedy
Added 6/23/2009
This was a nice movie, interesting all the way, a combination sports film and melodrama and based on a tragic real-life event: a 1970 plane crash that killed 75 people including all but a couple of players and coaches on the Marshall University football team.
It's a film that when it is over, you're glad you watched it. That's a good endorsement right there.
Matthew McConaughey's role as head coach "Jack Lengyel" was a little goofy. I question whether the real coach was this "quirky," but I'm not complaining because it made "Lengyel" -- in the film - a lot of fun to watch. The screenwriters probably did that for just for that purpose, and it worked. The one football game featured is a little hokey, too, but I didn't say the movie is great, just entertaining and inspiring, which is good enough for me.
By the way, check out the bonus feature about "Living Legends." It has a half-dozen famous coaches in America give their philosophies on coaching and some of the segments are very interesting with some profound statements in them
