Love a good story. Love football. So, We Are Marshall was a perfect match for me.
Seriously, I was choked up and tearing 10 minutes into the flick.
The basic story: Marshall University's football team (almost all of it) dies in a plane crash in 1970 and the town of Huntington, WV (and university) are dedicated.
Matthew McConaughey puts in a solid performance as the coach who is trying to rebuild the program after the devastation.
Good character development, appreciation of why football isn't life's most important thing, but how it can be a part of the healing process.
Definitely recommend it.
