A word of warning. This is purported to be based on a true story, but upon further research I discovered that it is not, in fact, a true story. A lot of this stuff was made up. That being said...I absolutely loved this movie. This is the stuff filmmaker's dreams are made of. I loved the coach with his gruff exterior and tender heart. I loved the cinematography and the setting. I loved all of the girls who were like my childhood come to life. (Awkward, unpopular, weird, lonely, insecure. I just wanted to wrap them up in my arms and tell them 'It gets better.') I loved it all, and I even shed quite a few tears as I watched the story unfold.

Watch it for the heartwarming feelings, not for the historical accuracy.
