I brought my whole family to watch this movie. It was a feel good movie and we all enjoyed it. Who doesn't want to see an underdog overcome their struggles? I do and so did my family! As for if the movie was any good, who cares?! We all had a good time watching it and talked about it for several more days after. Don't get too caught up in the details of the story and just go along for the ride that the story provides.
