Michael's Movie Grade:B+
Review: Excellent film, may be formulaic but is so good you may not care.
This film is excellent at getting someone who is not interested in either sports or science (A.K.A. me) completely involved in it's story line. The main character is very likable, and we grow to care about him a lot (of course being played by Will Smith doesn't hurt this). Writer and Director Peter Landesman is really passionate about this subject and it shows, and he can make someone who doesn't usually share his passion, share it for the length of this film.
On the downside the romance should have been fleshed out more (it is not bad but it could be better), and the film at times confines itself to the typical style of this type of movie. However what is good is so good, you may not care about it's faults.
Regardless of your feelings toward this type of film, this is an excellent film that is well worth a watch.
