Here is a kewl sports movie about a high school football team in Texas, where the sport is taken seriously as if football was the economy's only export. The coach (Billy Bob Thornton) is bombarded by the community on how to take the team to state and then faces incredible odds when his best player may not be able to play. FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS carries a nostalgic breeze for the golden days of high school sweethearts while capturing the spirit of West Texas football with its superb action sequences on the gridiron. It is hard to hold back the tears when a father and son seek reconciliation at the end, an unforgettable moment in cinema. [4.3 stars]
