Amazing movie!
Best performance by Luke Wilson
12 Mighty Orphans is a plodding football drama in which the characters talk to one another like folksy social workers.
12 Mighty Orphans tells the true story of a Depression-era high school football team improbably formed at a Texas orphanage, but the screenplay may as well have been invented from whole cloth, given its relentlessly formulaic nature.
The delineation between good and evil maybe a bit too black-and-white throughout, but none of those aspects remove the potency of the lessons learned along the way.
