One of my favorite films EXCEPT for....

I grew up in Southern Indiana and I love this movie because they really captured the flavor of what living in the state was like when I was a child (corn fields, old gyms, architecture, people, etc...). However, the one part that bothered me was the character played by Chelcie Ross (big mouth guy). I felt like he overacted...either that or I was irritated because he was too much like many I'd known who were shall we say, larger than life.
Funny story though....after seeing that movie, I later learned that there was another Indiana sports film was about to come out and so it was with great excitement that I went to see, "Rudy" when it opened. It was great until the same guy played Dan Devine in that movie too! Same big mouth. Arrrgggghhhh
