My friend Nick is in a movie! That would be enough for me to fall in love with it, but there are more attributes that add to its beauty. I'll now list these qualities in order of importance:

1. Nick, not just because he's my friend, but because he was probably one of the top 3 actors in the entire movie. And he had a much bigger part than he made it sound like he was going to have. What a Modest Molly he is!

2. Larry Miller, I don't think there are many people in the movie biz I like more than him, although his old stand-up routines aren't exactly "comedy gold." He was great in this movie

3. Underdog sports story, I don't care what sport they're playing and how bad the acting is, if it is an underdog sports story I'll watch it. I know this is true because of the number of times I've seen movies like "The Little Giants" and "Sandlot".

4. Iowa, I love that this movie is a true story that is set in my backyard.

That's it, that's all I needed for this movie to be great. I'd buy the DVD if Nick wasn't even in it...maybe.

PEACE
Doug
