I had just gotten back from seeing Field of Dreams with my son on Father’s Day and was sitting with my laptop with the TV on in the background. The previous movie finished up and Hoosiers came on. It seems to be one of those movies that once you stumble across it, you end up watching it all the way through and sure enough, that’s exactly what happened.
It’s the Good Guys vs. the Bad Guys. It’s a redemption story…for several characters. It’s heart-warming and an enjoyable way to spend an evening with a movie. Some sports movies are pretty lame. Hoosiers is NOT one of them.
