"1000 to 1: The Cory Weissman Story" (2014)

At the beginning of this, I thought, "I'll just watch a little bit."  Then it became a little bit more, until I found I'd watched the whole thing.  This movie is based on a real story.  There are some pretty classy people out there.

I thought this movie was well done.  It took what could've been a cliche approach to "another sports movie" or "another recovery story" and made the whole thing both adequately active, but also quite human.

There are some pretty classy people out there.




If you don't want to know how the movie ends, then stop reading here.


Just when I thought the movie had ended, there was another ending.  Then another ending.  And the photo shots of the real people were not done during the end credits, but before the end credits--as another ending.  I loved this three-part way of wrapping things up.  Worked very nicely.

Okay, four endings.  (I liked the ending so much, I had to watch it again.  I forgot about the basketballs.)
