STUPID SPORTS MOVIES THAT I LOVE -- by Steve Nadis
If you've seen one sports movie, you've seen 'em all. While that's not entirely true, the genre is formulaic in the extreme. If you change the sport and the city, a football movie like INVINCIBLE is almost identical to GOAL! THE DREAM BEGINS. That said, I still liked GOAL! THE DREAM BEGINS even though every aspect of it was entirely predictable. Call me a sucker for stupid sports movies, especially the stupid ones that are also kind of smart.
