    I saw The Winning Season at Sundance. It was sweet and heartwarming.Sam Rockwell is the lead and he does a good job playing the Bad NewBears like coach. The winner here is Emma Roberts. I am admittedly afan so I am biased. But I do wish there was more Emma in this film.That was my only disappointment. Otherwise it is a typical feel goodfilm with all the big moments you would expect. Nicely done. I am not abig sports fan so maybe it didn't resonate with me as much as I wouldhave liked. But in Sundance you never know what to expect when walkinginto a film. This was definitely an interesting film to play but I leanmore towards the more realistic films in general. The films that arereally great but never make it to my town. This one, I have a feelingwill be seen by many.
