When the team is on the bus heading to a match, they are going from their school in NJ to another school in NJ. However, the shot of the road they are driving down is in Rockville Centre, Long Island, NY (one of the admitted locations where the movie was filmed). In traveling from one school in NJ to another school in NJ, there would be absolutely no reason to pass through LI. See more »Quotes

This is a nice film with likable characters trying to do the right thing. The only problem is the characters starts to become really predictable really quickly. The plot is about a attorney Mike Flaherty(Paul Giamatti) that works double jobs, the other one is as a wrestling coach. But the is struggling with money issues and family. And when it comes to money issues, family usually go hand in hand. Mike Flaherty decides to take guardianship of a old guy named Leo that suffers from dementia and in return will get paid $1500 a month. But the extra baggage Mike didn't expect is Kyle(Alex Shaffer) who is Leo's grandson. And Kyle ends up spending a lot of time with Mike's family and gives Mike a motivation in life since he turns out to be a prodigy when it comes to wrestling. And Mike shows Kyle affection. So it's win win for both sides. The thing is the build up for this movie just seems so darn forced sometimes and doesn't come off natural. This movie slightly reminded me of "The Blind Side" but just didn't move the heartstrings as much. Cause almost everything about this movie just seem drastic. I however like how it didn't try to sugarcoat everything, which would have took away the main positive element going for this flick. If this movie had a more natural and touching build up it would have left an impact and would have been a real indie gem. It just has a slow dull beginning and only gets slightly emotional and entertaining later on but everything is just so darn predictable in almost every way.
5/10
