Storyline
Jewish High School Senior from Pennsylvania gets recruited for football by a prep school in Massachusetts. Bredan plays David Green, who has to overcome anti-semitism and many other obstacles all in an attempt to "fit in".

My Review
This was actually the first big screen film that Brendan shot, although audiences saw Encino Man first. You'd never be able to tell it. This dramatic film is a must see in my book. Brendan shows David's struggle with his beliefs vs peer pressure to perfection.

Fave Quote

"Your tradition or mine sir?"

Fave Scene
Hmmm...guess I'm gonna go with the scene in the shower when Dillon tells everyone that David is Jewish. Very intense!

Quotable Brendan
"If in some small way we can come to recognize that prejudice exists and then each do our own part to correct it, then that's a step in the right direction. That was an important reason I did the film."
