The Hill Chris Climbed: The Gridiron Heroes Story (2011)
The compelling, heart-wrenching story of high school football star Chris Carnales, whose life changed when he became paralyzed after breaking his neck in a football game. Chris soon learned of others who suffered similar injuries and, with the help of his father, overcame tremendous pain to start an organization with one goal in mind: get immediate help to other victims and their families. He called it Gridiron Heroes.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
