Premise
A documentary about the Team USA paraplegic rugby team playing for the 2004 Paralympics.
Who should watch
People who want to watch something inspiring and are not squirmy about deformed limbs.
Thoughts
The subject was very interesting and uplifting. The filmmakers chose to explore the 'Benedict Arnold' coach of the Canadian team and the colorful face of the USA team, Mark Zupan. I loved the candid footage of the guys behaving like regular jocks. Also, the discussion of how paraplegics have sex was hilarious.
The one thing that bugged me was when the filmmakers tried to make it hip with unnecessary style. I shouldn't be surprised, since this was an MTV film. But the subject of the documentary was good enough to stand on its own.
What I would change
The medical footage of a heart operation wasn't that necessary.
