SoooooooGood! Crooked Arrows

by mmit911

The movie also touches on the Native American roots of the game, which are very deep and interesting. Most importantly, to me, as I have been a long time critic about how our world has placed our Native American Indians in the background with no attention, I mean, real attention, etc. and this feeling of mine goes back to when I learned from history as to Who Was Here First in America! The Native American Indians! We, our government, seem to have put that aside, care less, and place attention on slavery, thanks to Abraham Lincoln! The Native American Indians were here first, as they greeted us on to American land, and I noted this even in an Irish Novel "Ireland" where they, St. Fitzgerald and his crew wished to visit America, and when they arrived, they were "welcomed" by the Native American Indians to come and make a home here, but he(?) thanked them, saying they just wanted to come and see America. This movie, Crooked Arrows" reopened my vote for them to get honor!

Crooked Arrows

by gadogs08

This movie nailed it head on. Its about lacrosse, but more importantly its about its roots. Where it came from and those who played it first. The movie takes you into the culture that lives around lacrosse. I recommend this movie for anyone who plays lacrosse, wants to learn about lacrosse, or is looking for a good sports movie!

Crooked Arrows

by globalreach

This is about growing up and giving back to your people. It's about honor and respect for yourself, others, and the Creator. Joe Logan (Brandon Routh), who has it made in the tangible world, is spiritually lacking. His old world and new world ways do not mesh comfortably. Joe is volun-told to coach the local high school lacrosse team as a part of his spiritual growth and to obtain the tangible things he is after. So, his father (Gil Birmingham) and sister Nadie (Chelsea Ricketts) gather to support his spiritual growth journey. "Grandmother", his spiritual guide, acts subtly and not-so-subtly as his subconscious to help him stay on his path. Grandmother is played by Betty Deer -- she is awesome! Excellent movie for family viewing.

If you love Lacrosse, you will love this movie. You will come out with a better understanding of the history of Creator's Game while cheering for the modern day warriors. I thought the story was very well done and you are drawn in from the start. It honor's the true tradition of Lacrosse and the people that brought it to us. Remember "It only takes one good shot!" Go see this movie! You will NOT regret it.

A Movie For The Home Library!

by roswellmd77

There is so many things about this film; from the acting to the story line that I can't write it with just the right amount of justice.

So to keep it short, watch the film, sit back, enjoy and walk out a Crooked Arrow!

Generic by the numbers sports movie

by

If you've seen any "underdog unorganized sports team that somehow manages to win the championships" in the last 20 years, you've seen this movie. Each scene is ripped straight from the page of any of those other movies with some "look" into native american culture thrown in to differentiate itself. Still, it was executed well enough that I had a smile on my face and was rooting for the underdogs.

Crooked Arrow

by skidiebutz

This movie has so much heart. Yes, the theme of a down-and-out team makes good has been used before, but never with the beauty and love in this story. The sense of history, and family in the Native American community brought me to tears. The opening scene is nothing short of awesome.

by K imperiale

It isn't often we can go to a family friendly movie, and EVERYONE enjoy it without it being animated! Smart writing makes it enjoyable for teens and adults and all ages love the action!

THANK YOU CROOKED ARROWS! Great movie, great story and even better lessons!

Take the fam. and take the team!!!

In a time of high budget, overrated flicks, this is a welcome change. A "MUST SEE."

Good solid sports movie

by NYPerson1

A nice, heartwarming movie, which the whole family will enjoy. Nothing particularly innovative here, but if you like underdog sports stories, this one certainly qualifies. I especially enjoyed seeing some actors who aren't in every other movie; it's nice to have new faces on the screen.

Great Film for the Family. A Legitimate Representation of Field Lacrosse.

by bobbydefreze

This film is a must see for any lacrosse family or sports family in general. If you or your children play this great game, you will appreciate the attention to detail in all of the lax scenes as well as the fun banter between players and coaches. If you or your family are unfamiliar with the sport, you will be won over by the family friendly humor and intrigued by the speed, grace, and ferocity of the game of lacrosse. A little cheesy, as most sports films tend to be, but the movie is clearly targeting the younger audience. A task in which it succeeds. Most of the actors in the film are actual lacrosse players who were then trained to act, not vice-versa, which really shows through in all of the action sequences. The movie also touches on the Native American roots of the game, which are very deep and interesting. Overall very well done, has that big-time movie look and feel, and was very enjoyable for my friends and I, who are all in our twenties and are not parents, just love lax.

Crooked Arrows

by enophil

As a former lacrosse goalie (37 years), I thought this film was excellent! I recommend for any young lacrosse enthusiast or especialy for someone not familiar with our nation's oldest sport.
It's rare for a movie audience to applaude at the end.

Great Movie

by wiscounter

This movie is pretty good. It makes it seem pretty cool to be Native, even though it still does resort to some of the same old Native stereotypes i.e. Natives always have to be wise, stoic protectors of Mother Nature. Also I guess they couldn't find any Native kids "hip enough" to play the brother and sister so they relied on the old tactic of casting white kids and saying they are "half native". Kind of like Val Kilmer in Thunderheart. Overall the story is a feel good triumph over adversity story, but it does use that some old "Mighty Ducks" "Bad News Bears" formula. Coach with troubled past is forced to coach a misfit, losing team. He's leads them to victory and fixes his own problems in the process...oh they always acquire a weird, but talented, loner kid who makes it possible for them to win too.

Crooked Arrows Shoots Straight!

by messier11

Unsurprisingly formulaic, this film still delivers, both emotionally & factually. Native American culture and pride come through loud and clear. The game scenes are realistic and striking. & the anticipated ending still provides a rush. Excellent sports movie!
