Goofs
During one game, the scoreboard was inaccurate. After the Arrows scored a goal the scoreboard was seen to change: from 7-4 to 7-5. Then the Arrows were shown making TWO more scores. Then the scoreboard showed another change: from 7-5 to 7-6. This should have been 7-7 or one of the goals was shown too early in the game.

Quotes
Crooked Arrow: No arrow flies straight. There's nothing wrong with a crooked arrow. As long as it follows its own path, it will find its way.

Excellent

A fun family movie. Based on sports (lacrosse) and a struggle by native Amicans to be competitive at their traditional sport against wealthy mainstream competition. A warm and happy experience. Hard to find this kind of quality in today's entertainment world.

A limited understanding of lacrosse would add to the enjoyment as the struggle to compete against superior competition would become clearer. But not necessary.

The movie gives a positive image of the native Americans way of life in a way that is rarely seen. It purveys inspiration in facing their challenges without the usual blame. The whole package makes it an unusual, entertaining and fun movie to watch.
