Since Steinmark is displayed as a perfect person, both on and off the field, it becomes difficult to imagine him failing in any of his endeavors. In his early high school career as a football player he was a star running back getting around 5 touchdowns a game, and as soon as he gets to college he becomes the starting safety and achieves instant success. This leads to a very slow and boring first and second act of the film since all we see during this time is how good of a person Steinmark is. And at times, the film even seems to forget what the story is actually about. The film is about Freddie Steinmark and in order for it to succeed, it must show us Freddie Steinmark. Though for some reason when the University of Texas football team shows up on the screen Freddie is forgotten in many scenes and this makes it even harder to develop any emotional attachment to the main character since the film itself almost wants you to forget about
