    Editorial Reviews:

    Amazon.com
    Based on the perennial nonfiction bestseller by H.G. Bissinger, Friday Night Lights looks at high school football in the harsh light of reality, finding heart and hardness while stirring our emotions. Actor-director Peter Berg (Very Bad Things, The Rundown) is Bissinger's cousin; he knows the material well, and understands how an obsession with winning turns high school kids into somber, over-pressured gladiators--expendable soldiers in a community war against shame and obscurity. The fact-based story focuses on the 1988 football season of Odessa-Permian high school in West Texas, and as a fast-paced sports movie, Berg delivers the goods with a rousing, frenetically styled crowd-pleaser. But there's darkness in this tale of weary underdogs, including an abusive father (well-played by country music star Tim McGraw), threatening townsfolk, an injured star running back (Derek Luke), a tormented quarterback (Lucas Black), and the melancholy coach (Billy Bob Thornton) who takes his team to the finals. Berg's film could use less flashy cutting and more drama to support its gridiron intensity, but Friday Night Lights offers a refreshing alternative to the conventional sports movie, and makes a perfect triple-feature with the equally exciting documentaries Go Tigers! and The Last Game. --Jeff Shannon

    Got the product for $0.16, the shipping and handling was what killed me. Video was in perfect condition. Great deal, great movie.


    1 out of 5 stars Wrong DVD zone   November 13, 2008
    The DVD I received was not compatible with my DVD player. It is only compatible with US DVD players and not european ones. Im therefore unable to see the film.


    4 out of 5 stars Action Packed   October 25, 2008
    The playing of the game was action packed and the ending was real something that would happen in real life.. things don't always go your way in life and this movie depicts this concept. In addition, there was also a story besides just the football and what a lot of these school kids went through in thier home life. Very realistic and I enjoyed it and have watched it more than once. I recommend this movie to all....


    4 out of 5 stars Let's get ready to rumble   July 2, 2008
    I am a woman. I am a woman who doesn't follow sports much in real life, nor do I watch movies about sports. The only reason I picked this up was because I have a thing for Garrett Hedlund as eye candy and I am a fan of Billy Bob Thornton. I could care less about a football movie. Still, this was a good movie. Following in the footsteps of the great sports movies (The Natural, Rudy, Rocky, etc.), we are rooting for the underdog and feeling a great joy when someone triumphs over a great obsticle.

    We are following the 1988 high school football season of the Panthers in a small Texas town. We are in America's heartland, Texas, a state that practically throbs with national pride and a love of football. Football is important, and you feel the exuberance of all the star team members as they interact with the townsfolk and media. Each has their own struggle, Garret Hedlund's probably being the most with an abusive father (Time McGraw) and his obvious popularity with the girls (gotta love that scene where the girl gives him a Rice Krispy sculpture!). Billy Bob is a stereotypical hard nosed coach, gruff and demanding. He pushes them as hard as he can. And they triumph.

    A great feel good movie about overcoming. It just happens to be a sports movie too.



    5 out of 5 stars Awesome Movie   June 4, 2008

    I love this movie.

    The one thing I have come to appreciate is the very fact that if it were not for the misfortune of B. Miles, this movie and the recognition this team and individuals received would have never come about. One comes to the conclusion that Miles's misfortune has followed him in many ways into adulthood.

    The flaw of the movie is the many unanswered question marks left behind. For instance, was the mother of our QB hero sick or addicted ? What was the clasroom and campus atmosphere really like for the players ? What about school work and part time jobs ? The movie was grand and because of its breadth many things that should have been focused on were not.

    But this movie in its grandness pulls beyond any perceived flaw it may have.

    It is just awesome.
