We Are Marshall
Description
In November 1970, the football team and general coach of the team died from Marshall University. It became very difficult after the fatal accident because there is no alternative team. Nate Rufin - a player who was ill and missed the deadly flight inside the wrecked plane - met other students at the university to persuade the board of governors to play in the 1971 season with new players to win the lost title. Don Dedeman is the college president who is trying to find a coach to collect new players. Players have already been recruited and submitted a petition to the National Student Safety Association to allow new players to play. Coach Jack Lengiel has been selected to lead the players in very difficult circumstances.

We Are Marshall is a bit of a shame, because the subject matter could have been something special in the hands of stronger filmmakers.

McConaughey campily channels Jon Stewart channeling George W. Bush for his impersonation of Lengyel.

What allows We Are Marshall to stand above many of the other 2006 sports movies is both the undeniable power of the story itself and the strong ensemble McG gathered to tell it.

We Are Marshall is not a bad movie; it is a potentially nice, familiar movie unfortunately marred by the unspeakably awful performance of Matthew McConaughey.

...would've benefited from the presence of virtually any other actor in the central role...

A series of montage and anecdotal vignettes follows as they recruit a whole new team, learn lessons from the catastrophe, lose and then win, with plenty of sentimentality sprinkled over the whole thing.

We Are Marshall isn't about grief or loss, but how these things can be overcome. It's uplifting, but shallow.

A sentimental, simplistically inspiring movie that leans heavily on Matthew McConaughey's substantial energy and charisma for its success.

This was undeniably a horrific event for the victims' families friends, colleagues as well as for the entire community. But the movie seems to almost exploit this tragedy so it can make audiences weep, and ultimately, cheer.

Despite its best intentions, there is much in We Are Marshall that holds it back from being the best it can be.

What's missing is any kind of insight into the lives of the dead players or the members of the Young Thundering Herd who rise up to replace them.

Unlike a lot of sports movies, it doesn't end with a championship or a great upset over a powerhouse. The real victory on the Marshall campus was in fielding a team that honored and respected the legacy of the 1970 team.
