Review
This film is actually really good. The premise is a true story based on the 94-95 Steinmetz cheating scandal in which a student got the test answers and the team used it to cheat their way to first, before it all came down. The acting is genuine good, considering that most of the cast are just teens. Jeff Daniels plays his role, making you almost sympathetic to the cheaters because..well Whitney Young (the rival school) has won so many consecutive State championships (nine years), and yet they've gotten the better funding and everything. The movie offers the question: Is cheating wrong? And under any circumstances, is it right to cheat? The film does it all, making it a good film.

Overall, I give it 8 out of 10 stars.
