Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Kirpianuscus It is one of films impressive for the manner to reflect fundamental pieces of every day life. from relation with past to the happiness, to the passion and its role of seed for future to the relation with mother, to the high effort for preserve a status to the simple , pure joy to be part of community. it could be discovered as a film about sport. it could be seen as to easy drama. but its way to use fundamental problems is admirable, against every critic. and the performances are one of good ingredients for that.

sherry-jorka Is your life really so bad? If you could change one decision you made 20 years ago that will affect the direction of the rest of your life but probably away from the people you now cherish, what would you do? This film has some similarities to four films I enjoyed: the James Stewart Christmas classic from 1946 "It's a Wonderful Life;" two films with Nicholas Gage: "When Peggy Sue Got Married" with Kathleen Turner, and "The Family Man" with Tea Leoni; and "13 going on 30" with Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo. I'm sure there are other movies with similar themes about introspection to pivotal moments in one's life and the effects they have ultimately. But if you also enjoyed any 2 of those 4 films then you will enjoy this heart-warming flick about a high school football hero whose life seemed to change on a bad twist of fate. And despite his efforts to make the best of it, fate deals him another bad break before he reaches a point of one last pivotal decision. The story is the critical element here - not the acting, or subplots, or cinematography, or directing, etc. Just enjoy the story.

cmoulding33 Normally, I don't give movies with a good message or touching story a score this low because you can enjoy them because of their value in other areas. That being said the errors, bad acting, bad choice of actors, bad story writing, and bad editing make this movie a painful experience for anyone with any knowledge of football or basic logical thinking. If you are in the mood for a good message or touching story as many others have mentioned, then go find another. The theme is cliché and therefore common enough that this movie is not special. I would not recommend this movie to a friend. I may watch for it on YouTube so that I can point out the errors and have a laugh, maybe go over the logical inconsistencies not related to football, and possibly warn football fans who think of watching it because it has Kurt Russell and a football theme about it.

vcastilino Touchback is the story of a football player who gets a chance to relive his high school days, at the end of which 15 years ago, he injured his leg and thereby lost his chance to go to college and play as a professional. As he finds himself in a known situation, he relooks at the very things (present) knowing well what is the future. Initially he is excited that he can now literally rewrite the past, especially his dream of getting out of the small native town he has grown up in and become a professional football player. However, his interactions with his coach, his own single mother and most of all with an unknown girl (who in his present is his wife) in the college - not unknown, but he never really did notice her then - he begins to see the beauty of the present. His mother challenges him to be happy now, rather than eternally keep chasing happiness in the future. Finally when he actually has a chance to change the present, in line with his grand plans for the future, he does the same as he did then, 15 years ago... all for the sake of retaining what is most important in life... love and friendship of those dear and not personal plans for glory.I wonder how many of us, if given a chance to go back into our past and change things, would change the whole of it? Or some of it? Or most of it? Blessed are those who will live it as it is and be happy about it! Because only then will each present moment count and every choice made valuable, because my present is more important than my past or the future... because my choice for the right and lasting things of life is more important than momentary glory and honour.http://vcastilino.blogspot.in/
