So much more than a football movie.

Friday Night Lights is a feel-good movie, but it's not real. It's a hard-hitting Hallmark greeting card. It's no wonder it appealed to Larry King %u2014 it's safe, easy, conventional, and feigns incisiveness.

Substitutes slick, cynical point-scoring for insight.

The script spends at least as much time exploring the psychologies of the young players and the problems they face at home as it does rallying the audience behind their efforts on the field.

A heart-pounding big-screen treatment that captures all the action of a tumultuous season while showing the emotional toll on the players.

What Friday Night Lights offers is the perspective that, for the people and young players caught up in this whirlwind, football simultaneously means everything and ultimately nothing.

The affecting, gruelling result is less a document of recreational sport than one of obligation and ordeal.

Few films have shown so powerfully the slashing double edge of sports fever.

Nuance typifies both Mr. Thornton's highly calibrated performance and the film's absence of unnecessary underlining.
