Inspired by a true story, WHEN THE GAME STANDS TALL brings to life the incredible winning streak of the De La Salle High School football team: 151 straight victories over 12 years. All along the way, as Coach Bob Ladouceur builds his seemingly invincible national powerhouse, he has emphasized purpose and significance rather than streaks and titles. But when real-life adversity leaves the team reeling, the Spartans must decide if the sacrifice, commitment, and teamwork they have always trusted in can rebuild what is now disintegrating around them
I saw the trailer to this movie on TV last night and it caught my eye. I kind of have a soft spot for these types of movies, and this actually looks like it could be pretty good. It stars Jim Caviezel as Coach Bob Ladouceur and Michael Chiklis as his assistant coach. It reminds me so much of Coach Carter and Remember The Titans. I think it could prove to be just as popular as well.
