forever strong is a type of film we have seen many time before and just in different types of genres. however that being said and i really thought it was a great film and sean faris is showing the type of potential that usually lands actors into big time stardom. apparently this film got a limited release as i wasn not even aware of it and but i saw it in the video store and decided to take a chance with it after i remember enjoying sean performance in never back down. i ended up making a great decision and i am not a fan of rugby what so ever and but the film really isn not fully about rugby and it about making a stand in youre life and challenging yourself and reaching your goals and there is a whole lot more then the simple plot suggests. at 1st we do not give a damn about what happens to rick and he mouthy and full of himself and and completely arrogant and we feel he completely sealed his fate as a trouble maker. along the way we see the changes in his character and he starts to hang around with better people and he starts to better himself and we learn how much negative impact his father has had in his life and it just a great swerve and the film did a great job of turning rick from cocky prick to a good hearted person. the rugby action itself is not too bad at all and unlike the stuff i played and saw in high school and this was actually quite fun to watch and beautifully choreographed. a great young cast combined with some veteran experience helped this film immensely and it just did a fabulous job of avoiding in what could have been a run of the mill type of thing to a poignant and effective drama. i also liked the conflicting contrast between the coach|garry cole| and rick|sean faris| and it made for a very interesting storyline and and i loved seeing him help out rick along the way it was emotional and heartwarming at the same time. this is a real hidden gem that i am truly glad i discovered it made me think about my life and a lot of times i need something like that. the performances. sean faris is outstanding as rick penning. he reminded me an awful lot of a young tom cruise cocky yet very charismatic and talented. it was a tough role to turn going from a mouthy teenager and to a good hearted young man and but sean pulled it off with pure perfection. he clearly put his heart and soul into this film and so big kudos to sean for putting so much effort into this great film. gary cole is excellent as the preachy yet likable coach who wants to help out the kids. i have always found him to be likable and he always has a sort of presence he carries to his films. neal mcdonough is fantastic as the selfish yet pressured father of rick. for the majority of the movie and the script leads you to believe he nothing more then a selfish bitter man who wants rick to be exactly like him and but in the end you start to see the real him come out and i felt sorry for him a bit. julie warner is a good character actress and she plays the good hearted and yet clueless mother well. penn badgley is required to play a real jerk and and boy does he ever do that well. on numerous occasions i wanted to pop him one and so i must say it a great performance. arielle kebbel is the love interest not much of a part and she did ok. nathan west plays a somewhat mysterious character and he did quite well. sean astin is billed as a major player for the film and but he barely does anything and he did good with what he had to do. bottom line forever strong is a great feel good film and it will definitely make you stop and think about how your life was much better then you thought. don not let this one slip you by and you would not regret it. 8 1/ negative .
