    I hope this movie does justice to the book

    12 Mighty Orphans is an awesome book by Jim Dent. It is a true story from the 1930’s about a rag-tag bunch of scrawny orphans from the Masonic Home in Ft Worth who under the guidance of their coach, went all the way to the state football championship. Much of it was filmed in Weatherford at the Pythian home.
    Sports movies seem to disappoint more often than not - I hope they pulled it off

          We don't watch TV anymore, so I haven't seen or heard of this being advertised. First movie I've been interested in seeing in a very long time.

                They were talking about it on WBAP, DJ Hal Jay has a part in the movie, small part.

                  Since I refuse to watch anything with Martin Sheen in it, I’ll have to pass. Maybe I’ll read the book…

                    My wife took me to a movie tonight and I saw the trailer for this one. Looks like it could be a pretty good flick.

                      I read the book years ago.

                      This looks like it might be really good. Thanks for sharing

                        I just watched this movie on a flight and it was really good. Highly recommend.

                          If Duvall is in it, it’s worth watching.
