Underdogs (opens today at Great Lakes Stadium 16)

[UNDERDOGS opens today in Cleveland exclusively at Great Lakes Stadium 16.]


Review by Bob Ignizio

Following the tried and true formula of many a sports film, UNDERDOGS tells the “inspired by true events” story of a Louisville, Ohio high school football team of, well, underdogs. Saint Thomas Aquinas High School's footbal has been on a losing streak for years, but new coach Vince DeAntonio (D. B. Sweeney) thinks he can turn them around. Certainly quarterback Bobby Burkett (Logan Huffman) has potential, and the coach also sees hidden talents in seeming misfits like Damien Taylor (Carter Redwood) who he makes wide receiver even though he can't seem to catch a ball to save his life.
