Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

rbylakx What "The Last Game" gives is a deeply honest look at what a team of gifted high school players and their hard nosed disciplinarian coaches goes through in search for their 3rd consecutive undefeated season. It's real life drama played out on a football field. It doesn't get any better than this.Everyone from players to coaches, to the families who live with them all suffer a week in and week out emotional battle filled with endless mind games and gut checks.Father vs son. Heart vs injury. Ego vs pride. Wins vs losses."The Last Game" is one of the better sports documentaries I have seen, with the final 20 minutes being a pure suspenseful joy to watch.

FWMITB Simply put- I am not a football fan and I was forced to watch this by my brother who is a jock and loves anything relating to sports.Sure, this is a movie about football- but if focuses on a father and son and the mother and wife in the middle.The father and son must play each other... I won't go into the plot anymore, but the film has a narrative arc that William Goldman couldn't get right without looking cliched.I hope this film finds an audience somewhere, because it's better than HOOP DREAMS, and maybe it will find an audience, because USA TODAY just said it was the "HOOP DREAMS of football" and gave it 4 stars (Mike Clark)... all in all, one of the biggest surprises of my movie watching life- I expected nothing (well, I expected to be bored by macho grunts) and I got one of the most inspirational, life affirming, positive films I have ever seen.And the ending? Absolutely insanely great.Please see it and tell a friend and maybe in 10 years this will show up on the mainstream radar...God willing...

Tanuja What can I say- they are good filmmakers and they also got lucky- you could follow a 1000 teams for a 1000 years and NEVER get this type of drama...If you like football and you have not seen this, you have no idea what really goes on behind the scenes...Well made and entertaining, with an ending that is, well, perfect. I am going to watch it again right now... since my favorite NFL team lost and won't make the playoffs...

chaddickens I have seen this film numerous times. It only gets better after each viewing. One could not have written a better script - only this one was unplanned, spontaneous, original and fresh while unfolding right before your eyes. The film is a beautifully shot sports film but also works on so many other levels. It has a story book ending but also covers loyalty, honor, father/son relationships, determination and the 'sport of war' that is high school football in Pennsylvania. One is never bored watching this film as new story lines keep you riveted. The coach is a unique character and provides great insight into the workings of a brilliant general's mind set. The viewer is also shown what it is like to play for such a man - as the student athletes are fresh and 'green' - then whipped into champions. This film is remarkable. Directors T. Patrick Murray and Alex Weinress have produced an instant sports classic for all time - not to be missed!!!
