Review of Friday Night Lights (2004) by Nick M — 11 May 2012
Friday Night Lights is definetily one of my favorite sports movies. The story is told really well and captures the essence of high school football almost to a tee. It is a little cliche'd at times with the whole underdog part of the story, but it's still done well.
The movie also has a nice mixture of gut-wrenching scenes, funny scenes and has the best feeling of what a football game really is like I've ever seen in a movie. This is especially true in the last game portrayed between Permian and Dallas Carter which is just phenomenal.
As for the acting, Billy Bob Thornton is great as Coach Gary Gaines and Lucas Black is very good as Mike Winchell with the rest of the cast doing great as well.
