first of all and i know almost nothing about rugby and so although i find the rugby aspect of this movie to be interest it could have be any sport and i think i would have enjoy it just as much . the fact that it a about rugby do not make it any good or bad for me . what make this movie great be the story itself and base on actual event that have occur over the last 30 year with the highland rugby club . coach gelwix be the kind of coach that most every parent would like their child to have and someone who care more about the person than the sport ( even though they have win 17 national championship and have only lose 9 game in over 30 year . ) . the more i have learn about the coach and team the more i like this movie and it message . i have see other sport movie that seem great at first and but then i research the detail only to find that most of those movie be 10 % fact and 90 % fiction and with the 10 % of fact be greatly exaggerate . not so with forever strong . it may seem too good to be true and but that what so amaze about it . if it be fiction it would just be an enjoyable story and nothing more . instead and the movie be inspirational and make you want to be a good person . don not miss this movie because of a few negative review by professional critic . i have be read some of their review and most of them have give the movie horrible review . these be generally the same critic who rave about movie that most people hate . in fact and i would be worry if some of these critic have give the movie good review because i almost always disagree with their opinion . go see this movie and post your review ( positive or negative ) . currently most of the audience review be enthusiastically positive ( here and on rotten tomato and similar site ) and and i be interested to see if this trend continue . thanks .
