CN’s ALL THE RIGHT MOVIES - Clear Eyes, Full Hearts - FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

The movie based on the book which let you know Texas is batsh*t crazy about its football. Like really crazy.

Last week, we kicked off a 2-week Texas High School Football run with Varsity Blues which, while not based on the FNL book, didn’t try very hard to hide the fact the writers and director definitely read it.

While changing a few things around for dramatic effect, this movie stayed pretty true to the real story. It let you in minds of these people and definitely let you know how over the top Odessa was/is about their football while still being a top-notch sports film and making cheer for these kids whose only responsibility is winning state for the entire city.

No pressure at all.
