MOVIE REVIEW: Draft Day

RELEASE DATE April 11 2014



DIRECTOR: Ivan Reitman

STARS: Kevin Costner, Jennifer Garner, Chadwick Boseman



IMDB Story line

It's draft day in the NFL and as general manager of the Cleveland Browns, Sonny is forced to come up with a big move. After trading for the number one pick, Sonny has to choose between a lower-ranked linebacker with a questionable past or a celebrated quarterback with a questionable future. All the while, Sonny is walking in the footsteps of his father and personal complications force their way to the surface. Written by Anne Campbell
WHAT I LIKED

This is a sports movie as much as it is a Cleveland Browns movie, but not on the field. it's the story behind what goes on making a team. to me it was a perfect romance story. It showed and gave empathy to the Cleveland sports history and story, but it was fiction at the same time. If you lived in Cleveland all your life as I have you know the connections and cookies that made it real for a Cleveland sports fan.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE.

That this did not get a Oscar nomination on some level

Movie was rated PG-13, could have been PG and this is a great family movie, there was mild foul Language.

I gave this movie a 10 out of 10 on IMDB

I was able to see this movie on the Big Screen and did buy the Blue Ray

My 2015 Oscar Predictions

I have never done this before, and I have not seen most of the movies on the list because I just don't have the money for the high ticket prices at the theater, but I do read reviews. So based on the politics and media coverage of the movies I am going to take a stab at what I think the winners are. Of course I am pulling for some of them. But lets whats happens and have fun with it.

I did not make any picks for Technical Merit cause that would be way to much guess work.

My picks are in Italic
