everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Absolutely brilliant

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

This is a such a stupid movie - another football hero story. Long boring conversations, no emotions or too many in the wrong situation, poor acting and a copycat plot (reminds me of Blindside). I don't think I would let my kids watch this one, too strained and confusing. The plot seemed to be about cancer, but turns into a silly family story. It is just not a good movie. Not worth the time or money.

I've been wanting to see this for a while and finally did last night. I love 50 Cent as an artist and person and thought his acting was just fine. I think all dramatic movies have their slightly "cheesy" parts but his emotions were deff believable. I didn't even notice any of the goofs mentioned above. 50 Cent's character was much more sincere and respectful than most young men would have been in his position (handsome star athlete). Even though he slept around and got with a girl his brother liked I didn't view him as jerk just a young man living life which made it even sadder to see his hard work and promising future torn apart. I found it touching and inspirational! The only downside was a vague ending...and I love him with dreads :)

This was a pretty good movie. The story is pretty cliché, but it is still a good movie. The story was well written, but 50 cent's acting brought down the others at some points. Also, those dreads they had 50 cent wear were pretty funny I was sad to see them go. If you like movies about sports and family then give this movie a try. This being one of 50 cents few acting roles I give him a 3/5, but a more experienced actor should have been cast in the lead role. I'm sure that was a choice to try and bring in viewers, but it was a good story without it. I don't want you to think that I do not like 50 cent or that his acting was horrible, because that is not true. 50 put on a good performance and with the weight he lost for this role you know he was dedicated. Anyone on the fence should watch it I don't see why it has received such low marks.

The story line for this movie was excellent. The setting was believable enough to carry as a college background. I enjoyed 50 cent's portrayal of a young man dealing with life's struggles and unexpected bumps in the road. This movie brought tears to my heart. I appreciate 50 and the cast of this movie for putting together such a thoughtful message. (When life gives you lemons....). Even though there are moments where the acting was strained, I still take the movie as a whole and consider it to be great. I enjoyed the fact that it is basically a G rated type movie. I would allow my children to watch it and I would refer it just as much as some other inspirational movies. Thanks for keeping it clean.
