Hope comes alive on Friday nights
Based on H.G. Bissinger's book, which profiled the economically depressed town of Odessa, Texas and their heroic high school football team, The Permian High Panthers.
Expectations are high for the 1988 football team at Permian "Mojo" High School in the blue-collar, football-crazy town of Odessa, Texas. Mojo is a traditional powerhouse in Texas high school football, and the community lets coach Gaines know in many not-so-subtle ways that nothing short of a state championship is a failure. But when the team loses its star tailback in the first game of the season, hopes seem dashed, and Mojo goes into an early tailspin. Everyone is ready to hang coach Gaines in effigy, and the team is left for dead. But miraculously, coach Gaines pulls the team together, and Mojo makes a now-unlikely run into the state playoffs.

No other sports movies can come close to touching Friday Night Lights. When watching this film you become so entangled with the hopes, fears and emotions of the people in the small town of Odessa, Texas. Football is like a religion to these people and it resonates out of the screen. Friday Night Lights is incredible it had me in tears.
Brilliant

This film is superb, to give it one star is just insane and shows a complete lack of understanding of the sport and its roots. This film really highlights just how tough american sport can be at such a young age and what pressure kids of 16 years are under. The acting is fantastic and the action scenes are even better. At this cheap price I can't recommend this enough.
BORING
