Brace yourself for the language (the f-bomb is dropped every few minutes) and some graphic details about sex, but this is really an interesting story of the US Men's Quad Rugy team. The players all suffered some from some form of SCI and play coompetitive sports at the paralympic level. It shows them with their families, hitting on girls, repairing relationships, goofing off, etc. It's a great story that really shows them as athletes and cool, funny guys, rather than the pity story that I think generally goes out to the public.

Some of the DVD extras were pretty funnny. There was an MTV Jackass meets Quad Rugby clip that is great.

I really want to see this, especially since my husband works next to the PM&R suite at Walter Reed.

Saw it this weekend and it was FanTAStic. It should be required for every medical person who works with infectious disease OR head and neck injuries OR rehab OR sports medicine.

and then all of their relatives.

and then every single injured kid at Walter Reed and Navy and so on.

I LOVED it. and the guys are so, so cool. and sexy. Like any other Olympic caliber althlete.

I give this two thumbs and the rest of the fingers Way, way up.
