Gridiron Gang (2006)
7/10
Highly entertaining movie. The formula works
1 September 2006
This isn't one of your overly patriotic movies of how great Americans are. Its all about how a sport such as American football can change people to work together as a team.

This can effectively bring bonding amongst a wide array of demographics and individuals (in this case inner city youth with massive egos).

This movie had both action and drama and the rock really does look like someone these types of kids would listen to. One thing that I really respected was that racism wasn't really an issue here, which is apparent in usually all of these types of movies. It really had to do with the gang mentality and egos that gets into the minds of youths these days and they effectively showed this aspect.

At the end of the day it is a well rounded movie and something I highly recommend people see as a family because it does widen your perception of the issues that face youth most notably as I mentioned the gangs and bad influences that can unfortunately plague societies. It also had an interesting little documentary and epilogue at the rolling of the credits, so no need to leave early ;).
