What I Liked?

I pretty much like all sports movies so my demands on them are quite low.  However, I found Out Of The Blue to be particularly interesting because I root for another non BCS Team (TCU) and certainly remember this historic season for the Broncos.  What I liked about this movie was hearing the development of the Boise State program and how they were true underdogs throughout the season and how they overcame adversity.  You can throw in all the sports analogies you want; however, this is a film that encourages you to really pull for this team.  It is full of interviews with players, coaches, and fans.  In addition, there is plenty of game highlights for all to see and remember this season.

What I Did Not Like?

For a documentary on a football season, I thought it was very good.  My only misgivings are not based on the movie but remembering how my own team did not deliver that season.  Other than this, I don’t really have too much to knock it on except for maybe the ending was kind of weak considering the story and really could have finished on a higher note.

Overall, this is a great feel good movie/documentary that all sports fans will enjoy short of Oklahoma Sooner fans.  However, I bet even many of them can appreciate the role of the underdog even if the final game was at their expense.  A great movie that I give an A-.  However, remember I do love sports movies so am definitely grading on a curve.
