This movie is based on the true story of Mike Flynt (Michael Chiklis) who missed his senior year of college football because he fought too much. aHe decides to come back to school 35 years later to play out his senior year at 59. He does not get to his first game as he is injured in practice. However he works through his injury, and rejoins the team with a couple games left. Coach (Rob Corddry) finally decides to let him play the last game on the field goal unit. His team has had trouble with allowing blocked kicks.
However his estranged son (Brandon Flynn) doesn't understand his need to be part of a team. He, and many others, think he is crazy to be laying at such an age. His wife (Mary Stuart Masterson) has also struggled, but comes to understand her husband more. He makes good friends with the players, and he is part of something special. The final game is very exciting. This is a feel good movie. It seems like the local theater has mostly rated R movies so it is good to have a choice you can actually go to.
