Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a box office flop, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Aimed squarely at sports fans (and people who swear they aren't) and people who like their stories at full throttle. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more. A good follow-up to Chariots of Fire.
The mood: Feel-good.
The pace: Paced for all ages, at 2 hr 12 min.
What might put you off: Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.

The story of the 1980 United States Olympic hockey players, a group of amateurs from around the country who were whipped into a cohesive unit by controversial coach Herb Brooks to win a gold medal at Lake Placid during the winter games.
