The premise of The senior probably would be tossed out at every studio for being totally ludicrous. But the fact is this new film about 59-YEAR-OLD Construction Boss Mike Flynt WHO BACK TO HIS ALMA SUL ROSS STATE UNIVERSITY IN FINISH HIS SENIOR AND TRY OUT FOR THE COOTHBALE FOOTBALL TEAM AND MAKE NCAA HISTORY IS TRUE. It really happened, and that Fact Wold Be Enough to Make It A Worthwhile Underdog Sports Movie, But it is actually so much more.
Michael Chiklis is perfectly cast as flynt, a man happy marred to eileen (Mary Stuart Masterson) and Content in His Career But Still Living with One Deep He Never Finished HIS Senior As Middle Linebacker and Captain on the Lobos Team After After. Breaking the nose of another student. He has has issues like that, and a tough childhood, but a simple Mistake live with Him forever. Directed by Rod Lurie (The Outpost) and Written by Robert Eisele (The Great Debaters), this film is that story About a guy who is confronting his past, tries to make up for lost and goes back to his his biggest regret so that he can go go forward for the rest of his life. It also is about ACCEPTING AND FORGIVING HIS ONT ABUSIVE FATHER’S MISTAKES AND CORRECTHING THE ONES HAS MADE WITH hi Son. In other Words, The senior Is About Life.
Set in 2007, Flynt improbably Goes Back in time, persuades the coach sam weston (a fine rob corddry) to let her legitimitly try for the team as a senior, Despite the obivious reservations. No one this age Ever has played College football, and lurie effecatively users Angle in the sports-Movie Playbook to show the grueling at Hand as he through practice, being called by teammates is and determined to play in a real game. That is the suspens factor here: Will mike actually get to Play, or is the thread of injury too too to take the risk on Him?
In between all the football stuff we see his home life, his relationship with a wife who underestands this is something must and must, his constantly urging his son Micah (Brandon Flynn) to follow in his footsteps not the ones. h is following and flashbacks to the Younger days with an overbearing Father and his time on the team in 1970, 37 Years Earlier (Shawn Patrick Clifford Player Mike).
There is no shortage of the cliches familiar to the genre, but in this Engaging and Winning Tale They All SEEM JUST FINE. Why swim? IT’S Real, and at the time it made Flynt a Media Star with the evening tv Coverage on Good Morning America. It would be hard to find a better choice for the roles than chiclis, who look like the Kind of Guy Who Could Put Himself Through the Wringer and Come Still Standing on the Other End. We root for this guy all the way. The rest of the Cast Are Also Up to the Task, Including Masterson.
The Independent Movie, Like The Story It Tells, Has Had An Upward Climen Just to Get Made and finally releassed after two years through faith-baed distributor Angel Studios. Tt hits theater today and is well Worth a Visit if you feel to find some genuine human inspiration in these trout.
