Seeing Casey and Chuck high 5 in the first couple of minutes is bringing back early '10s memories
Now I know it's a movie. An "american dream tropes" movie, furthermore. But at this point I would just like to see - not even experience, just see - for once in real life the Love-At-First-Sight-In-A-Bar. Has it ever happened? Does it happen only in Iowa? Who knows
Was the "wrong drinks" on purpose or just left in the final cut?
Man, that speech about football gotta be the most stereotypical sport movie sum of sentences I've ever heard. Even Anna Paquin couldn't fake a "oh, that's insightful" face haha
Zachary going "Zach" "That's a good name", nice touch there
Nice house scene, good chemistry
1.65m vs 1.91m
"Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, until you can do what you want to do"
"Life's not about what you can achieve, it's about what you can become"
Dennis Quaid's in the house, and "The Rookie" memories with him
[1.22.00]
DV: "How long for you in the wilderness, son?"
KW: [puzzled]
DV: [chuckles] "How long out of college"
KW: "Right. Well, yeah, I mean, it's, uh.. It's been a few years. But sir, that doesn't mean that I don't know how to play-"
DV: "Fourteen. For me. Fourteen years out of coaching. I burnt out. I'm not embarassed to say it. Took a year off, turned out to be a decade and a half. And when I did come back, they said I was a retread, has-been, too old. Game had passed me by, all that stuff. All that same stuff that they're gonna say about you. What they didn't know... was [that] all that experience that I had in those years - made me who I am. Made me ready for this moment. Gave me something others didn't have. And I see that in you, Kurt"
