Great Pick.

Also, Coach O will be appearing in the movie as himself...

It will be the best movie of all time...

and Tim McGraw is going to be Sean Tuohy with Sandra Bullock as his wife. I'm surprised by how big time this movie is going to be.

I'm excited about Sandra Bullock being in it but not Tim Mcgraw. I think they could have cast a better actor to play Micheal's stepfather.

It's a great "story", but in some cases too good to be true. The author did a hack job of research, or just decided to create the best fairytale-type story possible to sell books. Don't just believe everything you read.

There definitely are so discrepancies between what actually happened and the book unfortunately, but it is what is it.

And yes, it will be the greatest movie of all time thanks to Coach Zero being in it.

It would be awesome if Coach O receives an Oscar Nod for best supporting actor. The movie is being in released in November and will be promoted for academy awards. see it's IMDB page for details
