Awake not Woke!

Not bad. Nothing exceptional.

No woke at all. I was hoping for more trick-riding, or rodeo action. There was very little and it involved a lot of quick scene changes. The best part of this movie was the exceptionally good acting by a 12-year old. The story was Hallmark-ish. It was predictable... and cheesy. It's a good choice for a clean, family movie night.

Watchable. Nothing special

No woke. Clean. Entertaining. Aside from being predictable, the only negative would be the issue a young child drawing violent sketches shortly after her mother died. That's kind of a heavy issue. I'm no child psychologist, but I don't think the best approach was to encourage it. The humor was clever. The acting was surprisingly good. The CGI was exceptional.

A rom-com for the woke brain rot crowd. Story wise it's a cliché with nothing original though the acting isn't really that bad surprisingly. However the humor just isn't there. It's all eye rolling and not funny in the least. Then there is the woke garbage. The usual mixed race couple where the wife yells at the husband to stop mansplaining then smile smugly and says 'he does whatever I say'. The biggest issue however is the lead male is an annoying pathetic hipster beta douche loser who eats healthy knows nothing about sports hates confrontations and loves to exercise while the lead female is the aggressive alpha type who eats greasy garbage hates exercise is confrontational and loves football depicting the woke gender role reversal. At one point she talks down to him and basically tells him he's an idiot and naïve to his face. She screws up and tips a guy with a $5k voucher because she thinks it's a $50 dollar one then later when she finds out she yells at him like it's his fault and says he's a thief. This is another of those movies with not one single likable character to be found anywhere. I hated everybody in this and after about 30 minutes I was done with this garbage.

Outlandish story that really happened.

The movie had the feel of trying to take a completely implausible story and make it seem possible. Except, this one is true. Yes, a 59 year old linebacker did play in Division III NCAA Football. Yes, he did compete (and win) a weightlifting contest against his 35-year junior teammates. He didn't get much playing time, but he did suit up and take the field in real games. The acting and directing are good. There's nothing spectacular, it's just a feel-good movie based on true events.
