Hits

• Very much feel good
• Has some nice sentimental dialogs
• The relationship between Michael and SJ, the younger kid is so cute
• Sandra Bullock exudes so much confidence and boldness. Not Oscar worthy but a good performance nevertheless.
• A good message in the end about how young talented black kids go wayward in life due to bad influences.

Misses

• Some needless drama in the end related to joining grad school.
• The football scenes though feel good aren't very convincing.

VERDICT:  A noble real life story brought out nicely on screen. FEEL GOOD TO THE CORE
