    They knocked it out of the park

     by  In It Not Of It

    A great movie about how important high school sports are for small town america. This movie starts out a little slow and jumps around a bit, I have to admit I got a little confused with where Sean Astin's character started out and how he ended up being the assistant coach. The movie really gets good when the punk kid from Chicago shows up to live with his grandparents and when the town finds out that their high school will be closing and their kids commuting to a larger city school. There is quite a bit of humor and some great baseball scenes. The ending with all the championship trophies is pretty powerful, especially when you find out that the larger condensed school hasn't won squat.

    This is one of the best movies since Remember the Titans. No need to be a sports lover! Must go see.

    The Final Season.

     by  Daydream

    Where baseball is the heart and soul of the community, The Final Season is inspired by the true story of the Norway High School Tigers in Norway, Iowa. This small town team has won the state championships 19 times in a row and is down to their final season due to merging schools, budget cuts and shrinking enrollment. This inspirational movie is for every sports fan out there and has life lessons for everyone. Although a characteristic underdog sports movie, it is very heart-warming and worth seeing.

    True story. Very inspirational.

     by  Cupcake916

    One small town's struggle with the state.
    I think what makes this movie special is the fact that is is based on a true situation. Norway IA was Baseball...
    Truely an inspirational film. One filled with the desire to never give up. I think it teaches great values. Even when faced with a situation where the players know their school will close down after the current season, they struggle through their own personal feelings and strive for stardom one last time.
    This movie captured the emotion the entire town went through. I looked forward to this movie for so long, and when it was released i couldn't wait to take my nephews. Unfortunatly They were not showing it in NYC (where I live) and my nephews had an engagement that night. So A friend of mine and i traveled 2 hours away to a small town in NJ to see it. Hoping all the time it would be worth the trip, gas and tolls.
    IT WAS!
    I hope it comes to NYC soon.
    I can't wait to see it again.
    Hope the DVD doesn't take to long.

    The Final Season

     by  chris-movie-watcher

    I was put into this by a blind date and it was the worst! They only made a couple touchdowns!! I will never ever be put into a place were the movie is so stupid!! It is so not worth it! My toilet training video was better that watching this winter sport. The Final Season, I will never say any good about this low fat sport! :-(

    I thought that it was really good! Not unnecessary bad words to ruin it for kids.
