Synopsis

Fall. 1983. While their beloved college football team vies for the National Championship, a fatherless 12-year-old boy (Jimmy) and his tomboy neighbor (Frankie) embark on a quest for his "manhood".
Moviegoers are saying
Nebraska fans are the film's biggest champions: one reviewer laughed so hard they cried, while another was moved to tears by the family and friendship scenes and called it 'super fun and cute.' The main complaint is dialogue that feels 'cringeworthy' at times, and several reviewers note the hometown pride is hard to share from outside the state.

    Nebraska football fans really be like that. I was actually laughing so hard at one point I cried. Both of these points are not complementary but twin worked on this movie and I have heard about it for so long that I couldn’t help but enjoy.

    A new film released only in Nebraska and select theaters in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Yes I’m a Nebraskan, yes we exist I thought this was extremely heartwarming and just a happy feel-good watch. All the family and friends aspects really genuinely touched my heart and I was in…

    Super satisfying to finally see the scene that we saw shooting outside our apartment two years ago on the big screen (and also Go Big Red, I guess)
