Forever Strong movie review

Teenybopper Love Story, Courage and Forever Strong Sean Faris, Gary Cole and Sean Astin. We are watching a drama based rugby movie with a moral. High school players, love, mischief, drama. The average expectation of a teenybopper type movie. Sean Faris plays our star rugby player. He is the high school jock who always gets in trouble due to influence. His father is a bossy asshole who is captain of his school’s rugby team and wants his son to have what he never had by controlling him. The perfect girlfriend for his fame and popularity and everything he could ever want in life.

Rick Penning (Sean Faris) finally leads himself into a trap he can’t avoid. His life is turned upside down when he was driving under the influence of alcohol one night with his girlfriend and has a horrible accident. This results in his being sentenced to a juvenile detention center for boys until he is ready for society once again. Rick Penning shuts down, his life falls apart, his father kicked him out of the Arizona rugby team called the Razorbacks where he played and left his girlfriend in dire conditions after the accident.

The moral of this movie is when he was asked to join the Highlander rugby team, the rugby team at the Salt Lake City juvenile detention center where he was sentenced. When he joins the team that turns out to be one of the best rugby teams of his life, he begins to change for the better again. He restores her hope and spirit. He learns to love his friends and to be a better person. They teach him to be the best rugby player and take him to the final of the National Championship. In the final, in fact, it was the Arizona Razorbacks against the Highlander. He had to face his own father and his old friends who now turned against him. The moral of this story is when towards the end of the game, when Highlander was about to lose, Rick Penning takes a brutal beating and is knocked unconscious. His father came to see him on the field and reminded him, “Don’t make the same mistake I made years ago. Either you get up now and leave, or you finish this game.” Turns out his father was on the Highlander rugby team years ago. Rick with all the energy he had left and with all his heart played the game and changed his life. Go watch Forever Strong yourself if you are a rugby or sports fan and enjoy some good drama. See how Forever Strong concludes and if he beats his dad’s team and if his dad was proud of him or not. This film showed many values, you can see it this week of May 19.
