Gridiron Gang (2006)
Cast: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson (Sean Porter), Xzibit (Malcolm Moore), L. Scott Caldwell (Bobbi Porter), Kevin Dunn (Ted Dexter)
For complete cast info, see IMDb’s Gridiron Gang page.
I really enjoyed this movie about a man (Sean Porter) who made a difference in so many teenagers’ lives. Gridiron Gang is based on a true story that’s heartwarming and includes sports. There’s not much more I could ask of a movie. Many people laughed at The Rock when he started his acting career, but I’m sure most of them realize that he’s actually a very good actor now.
Gridiron Gang follows a bunch of teenagers in a juvenile detention center as they learn to trust others and themselves as they become a football team. It’s really amazing to see how much of a difference one man can make if he doesn’t give up.
I definitely recommend renting Gridiron Gang if you missed it in theatres. It’s a very well done movie.
