Now we are definitely biased about this movie because we are extras in it and would surely love it no matter what since we participated and met all of the wonderful actors, producers, and directors. But this movie is a really touching story about a Gettysburg college boy/man overcoming a tremendous unexpected tragedy and working hard to recover. In a world where mediocrity is celebrated I think we really need more real life stories of people who won't settle from average and work hard to do things that others tell them they can't do. Jean Louisa Kelly, Luke Kleintank, Beau Bridges,and of course David Henry and all of the other fantastic actors really put their heart into portraying this story and I know that the directors and producers wanted the story to really reflect the real life events. I saw them talking to Cory and his family during every scene and they were there watching it all happen. And we met Cory and his family and they were very kind people that really make you think about the fact that bad things can happen to anyone and how wonderful it is that they made it through their hardship and came out on top. You should definitely watch this movie, right now!!!

Love inspiring stories such as this. Have several grandchildren who play basketball and want to share it with them. I just had three surgeries in seven months including back fusion and two hip replacements. I haven't had the incredible challenges of Cory and wonder if I would have been so unstoppable. I had to do this without my husband who died six months before my first operation. Didn't know I had it in me for I certainly couldn't have imagined being brave without him beside me. When Cory's first girl friend didn't like the person she had become who couldn't stand beside him and so she dumped him, I was so impressed with his determination in spite of this loss.

I probably cried through more than half of this movie, but this true story is so incredible and motivational. To be perfectly honest, I bought the DVD because my son is an extra in the film; I did not have high expectations for the storyline. Well I was glued to this movie from beginning to end. It teaches us all a little bit more about dealing with crisis, tragedy, and life-changing events. (P.S. It has a happy ending.)

Having a child who suffered stroke at a young age also made his story very interesting to me. It brought back many memories/emotions. But it is still a wonderful story about loss and his personal ambition & determination to recover. That internal drive is what pushed his recovery, a remarkable one considering his age at the time of the stroke. My son was only 3 1/2 and, like Cory, loved sports (still does), but the recovery was difficult and not just the physical, and he never obtained 100%. But that's OK cause none of us are 100% :-).

I watched this movie because of David Henrie. He is a good actor and enjoyed most of the shows and movies he acted in. Plus it's based on true life events and basketball. The story is very inspiring. It will make you laugh,make you cry, and make you motivated. Have Faith and Don't give up. You can accomplish things through the circumstances you are given. Sometimes things happen for are reason, even though we may not see it or believe in the present. You will not be disappointed by this film. Something to add to your sports film collection, along with Hossiers and Rudy.

I had some trepidation when thinking about watching this movie. The true story is amazing. The movie trailer, however, left me thinking that the movie would not be very good. I was quite surprised though that it actually was a good movie. It was well acted and written. It's an inspiring movie.

This is based on a true story. I caught the movie on BYUTV and purchased the DVD afterwards. Cory scores 1,000 points in high school playing basketball and was expected to be great in college. He had a stroke in his Freshman year. His outlook on life is everything happens for a reason. Cory recovers and matures as the movie goes on. Excellent movie!

This is a wonderful movie for the family and sports fans. If you think they have problems in life, watch this true story and then see if you really have problems. I would recommend this movie for every family and every sports team. It teaches some wonderful attitudes for anyone under severe physical or medical stress. The attitudes displayed in this movie are good for all of us to learn..... never, no never give up.
