(2022 dir. Jeremiah Zagar) Date Seen: June 7 2022
What at first seems like boilerplate underdog material slowly evolves into quality sports uplift with the help of Adam Sandler, the ensemble cast, & good directing (artist Isaiah Zagar's son Jeremiah!). Sandman really sells the Jiminy Cricket hype man archetype (think Giamatti in CINDERELLA MAN or Burgess Meredith in ROCKY) & brings a much needed warmth & humor to the film.
