If you're not interested based on the previews, then you probably will come out of it thinking it's just "ok".
Really
Did he say why?
The actor who played him had to lose 100lbs for the role
and he's still HUGE.
Some rich family takes in a poor, troubled black kid and he goes on to be a multimillion dollar professional football player. Haha.......if that's an oscar worthy movie nowadays Hollywood standards have sunk really really low.
Now if the poor, under served black kid would have gone to college, become a doctor or some sort of scientist, activist etc. and went on to help other poor kids etc. etc. I could see an amazing story. But poor black kids growing up to become professional athletes...........that's a dime a dozen story.
