My husband and I went to see that movie about 4 days after opening day. We went on a weeknight and were the only ones in the movie room where this film was showing. When the time came and went for the movie to start, and nothing happened, my husband went to report it and was told, with an apology, that we were the first ones to come to see this movie since it opened at that theater, so they forgot that someone was actually there to see the movie, which was why the movie hadn’t started on time.
Yes. We were with about 25 others viewing the movie (The Mighty Macs), but we all applauded at the end. I was sitting down the row from the coach of the football team of a local small college, and his wife turned to him and said, “You’d better get your whole team in here to see this movie.”
I heard about it on Fox & Friends where it was featured twice, but I don’t think it received any other publicity. They didn’t even have a viewing for the local critics, so it got nothing there either. I tried to get our local budget theatre (community run) to show it, and the manager thought that they couldn’t fill the theatre for the whole week. I disagree. I think that the movie had a universal message — work hard, work together, BELIEVE, and you shall succeed.
