View All

Ricky Bell, an all-pro running back with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who died of a rare muscle disease in the prime of his career. The plot centers on Bell's relationship with a father-less handicapped boy, and his efforts to be a big brother to him. The boy ends up being an inspiration for Bell when his disease makes the athlete more afflicted than the boy.

Reviews

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
