Lives up to its title, although apparently it gets much worse after the first quarter hour of pointless bickering, anti-Semitism, and cocaine.  (It did allow me to MST3K Jeremy Piven sucking on Ellen, when his character here asked what he did wrong.)  Peter Berg wrote and directed, before Friday Night Lights, Mile 22, and Patriots Day, which all got D's, so at least he's consistent.

Uninteresting threads leading up to the Boston Marathon bombings.  Peter Berg directed and co-wrote, a dozen years after Friday Night Lights and a couple years before Mile 22.

I lost interest in this as soon as it became clear it wasn't about a couple bickering over directions.  Peter Berg directed.

I didn't like the TV show either.  I was set to give this a D- for all the toxic masculinity, but I kind of liked the scene where the former high school champion is a has-been at maybe 25, with a baby and a mullet.  This is based on H.G. Bissinger's book Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream.  Peter Berg directed.
