Featured review
Hard to dislike, but not particularly memorable either
There's no doubt this is a feel good story showing the trials and tribulations of two people who had to endure lots to keep both their dreams and relationship alive. It's slow paced which is to be expected for what it's aiming to achieve but I didn't find there was much to differentiate it from other films that use a similar framework.
I thought Anna Paquin was quite good, but wasn't totally sold on Zachary Levi's performance. The latter half of the film which focuses on the culmination of all the two went through with Kurt succeeding in the NFL is quite rewarding to watch and well done.
Perhaps my rating is a bit harsh, because it is fine, just not special for me.
