Good story line but too many holes. Could've taken a page from The Blind Side or Remember the Titans. If you choice to watch have a box of Kleenex handy. A crying movie is always very cathartic for me.
Acting and dialog is not the best. However, it is a decent film that shows how a family copes with losing a child.
Good - The 5th Quarter is a beautiful film that focuses on how to deal with extreme grief; in this case the tragic death of a 15 year old boy. The emotions run high from one scene to another as each member of the family find different ways to deal with their loss. Sometimes we have difficulty understanding God's plan but films like this lend some answers that we all crave. In the end, we're here to serve our Lord through love of others reaching out to all and lifting those that need a hand to stand. Both Aidan Quinn and Andie MacDowell provide heart-felt performances as the parents of Luke Abbate. Let's see more solid films like this come out of Hollywood and fill the shelves of OPL.
Be prepared to cry. And cry. And cry. Yes, it showed some of what it is like to lose a child or a brother suddenly, and it really is a tragic loss. Tears are needed. It also shows how a family can return from the overwhelming grief, but (like real life) it is slow in coming. For inspirational football movies, "The Blind Side" and "Facing the Giants" are better.
