The movie wasn't bad, but neither was it good. Just mediocre. There was nothing in it that had you gripping to watch more and if you stopped watching it after half an hour, you really wouldn't have missed anything.
There are simply way too many of these kinds of movies where some person is considered an underdog due to circumstances and tries to rise above the situation to achieve something nobel. But in this film, the.protaganist's goal is to win at wrestling in spite of his disability. If this had been a story of someone succeeding in the Olympics, this might be interesting. But by the end of film, he doesn't really achieve his goal. And that girl that seems to be "into him" has no real interest beyond casual friendship.
This is not one of those films where you come away from it feelingn inspired because even though the protaganist has cerebral palsy working against him, we all have something in life working against us. It isn't just sheer will power that helps us overcome. Luck plays a certain role in success for all of us. There was nothing in the film that even remotely addressed the "luck" part of his journey.
Personally, I think producers would be better off searching for more inspirational scripts than wasting their money on a mediocre one.
