Crooked Arrows

A really corny underdog sports movie with all the best intentions. Make a movie about a less popular sport. Check. Make a movie featuring Native American culture and Native American actors. Check. Have the team win the big game against the rich white dudes. Check. Have the hero learn a valuable lesson about himself and his heritage. Check. Have a “Spartacus” moment. Check. Have several wise elders dispense pearls of wisdom like, “You have the speed of the eagle.” Check. It’s a very by-the-numbers movie, but the 12-year-olds I saw it with liked it.
