I caught The Break on cable one night back in the late 1990's and it became a favorite of mine; a movie I recorded and watch every once in a while for a good story and a good laugh. I will admit that the acting might not be Oscar material (whatever that means) and the plot might be somewhat predictable. However, the relationship between Nick and Joel is really enjoyable to watch evolve (at times the movie reminded me a little bit of a cross between two great sports movies: "Hoosiers" and "Rudy") and there are certain parts of the movie that still make my wife and me laugh out loud. I cannot think of much bad to say about The Break - I highly recommend that anyone who likes movies about sports that are both funny and, dare I say, uplifting, should watch the Break if they can find it, and finding it is not easy.
