Editorial Reviews

A true story of tragedy, hope, and resilience comes to the screen in this sports drama. Huntington, WV, is home to Marshall University, a school where college football is a way of life. Huntington is also a town that learned to deal with tragedy in the fall of 1970 when Marshall's "Thundering Herd" boarded an airliner to return home after a football game in North Carolina. The jet crashed into a hill due to bad weather, and 75 members of Marshall's football squad and athletic staff died that night. The accident dealt a crippling blow to the city of Huntington, as well as Marshall's faculty and student body, and university president Donald Dedmon (David Strathairn) considered abandoning the school's football program. But instead Coach Jack Lengyel (Matthew McConaughey) was recruited from Ohio's College of Wooster to rebuild Marshall's football program. Lengyel was not naïve about the task ahead of him, and working beside Red Dawson (Matthew Fox), an assistant coach who narrowly missed the doomed flight and was one of the program's only survivors, he came to understand his job was not just to put a team on the field, but help a college and a community heal their wounds from the tragic accident. Together Lengyel and Dawson turned a handful of rookies and second-string players into a competitive team who in 1971 showed the world what they could do in a legendary game against Marshall's rivals, Xavier University. Produced with the cooperation of Marshall University and filmed in part on their campus, We Are Marshall also stars Ian McShane, Anthony Mackie, and January Jones. Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

A funny tear-jerkerby JesusButterfly

October 24, 2008: When I first saw this movie I cried through the whole thing. McConaughey played an excellent role that was funny and humorous that kept the film from being utterly tragic. With wonderful performances from all the actors and a stellar plot and storyline, We Are Marshall is a must-see DVD.

I Also Recommend: Miracle.

July 09, 2008: McConaughey did a fine job. Once I got past his character's eccentricities, I really enjoyed the film! Not a Matthew Fox fan either, but he really got a chance to show he has chops. I don't like football a whole lot either, but ultimately this film is not 100% about football. It is about overcoming grief, adversity and the ugliness of life to stand up and say bring it on! I loved this movie, even though I had 3 strikes against it, it moved me. Favorite scenes- &quot We are Marshall&quot chant at the board of governors meeting &amp the confrontation between Jack &amp Nate when he begs not to be benched.
