A good feel good movie about a man overcoming his circumstances (many out of his control). A well tempered performance by Mark Wahlberg, who continues to show growth as an actor. The story is not just about him but also about his coach (an excellent portrayal by Greg Kinnear) as they both carry the hopes of many on their performances in the story! Good true story movie with period music, clothes and cars that can be watched by the whole family.
