Friends Movie Trailer- Friday Night Lights(Football) - Dearborn, MI

[Speedfreak]

Hey Guys, a friend of mine is producing this documentary/movie about some Arab football players and their team in Dearborn, MI. It's well done and worth the watch. If you would, check it out and let me/this thread know what you think. Or post what you think on Youtube under the trailer.

And if you would, please pass this around.. trying to get some traction for him/this thing.

I think the Friday Night Lights name is a little overused, but this movie looks good, very well done from looking at the trailer.

Yeah, felt a little goofy using it, but it's what could catch some attention. It's not the name of the movie, it's just what I titled the thread..

Looks good, not normally my kind of thing, but i'm interested.

I'm a documentary nerd, that looks pretty good. Not usually a sports guy at all, but I would definatly check it out

Is this about the team that has to practice at night so they can keep hydrated?

Yup, this one appeals to a pretty wide audience. It's been getting a lot of great reviews so far.

I think this year the same team is getting that press, but this footage for this documentary/movie was from last year. I believe they are getting that attention this year partly because of this trailer/filming.

Where's Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston? Can't have a Friends Movie without them.

ABC News 20/20 did a great piece on Islam tonight and interviewed a few of the players in this movie. Definitely worth a watch if you can find it on Hulu or something.

I just walked in the door and my mom said the same thing.. Wife dvr'd it, so I'll check it out later.

BTW, my bro's saw a screening of a preliminary full version of the movie recently and they said it held up to it's potential.
