Definitely a good look at the obsessive side of sports fans. Evokes great emotions throughout. Unfortunately the ending feels out of character and cheap.

Patton Oswalt is the biggest reason to see this movie. He should be in more films.

I kept waiting for the film to start and it never did. Is the story supposed be that someone is a big football fan and that's all he has in his life? That's it? Jesus Christ what a pointless film, I don't understand the appeal here

I appreciate every bit of this that patton obviously had a hand in writing, but what I appreciated more was just how good he was. He scared me in a way at just how good. I sincerely hope he gets more roles like this because he blew it away.

Cardboard characters and a storyline that seems to be written by someone standing outside looking in and misjudging;
P.Oswalt is doing good with what he gets to work from, the rest of this isn't much to be a fan of.

Patton is a surprisingly talented actor. I went in to this expecting a lot more laughs, but its not very jokey (does have some dark humor, though). It's a a truly unique movie and the less you know going in, the better.

Oswalt gives a terrific performance in the lead, even if the movie goes a bit too far in painting him as a pathetic idiot. Maybe it's because I listen to (and want to work in) sports radio that I find this kind of character more fascinating than some might. I "know" guys like this -- I hear them all the time. I may not be far removed from being a guy like this myself. The climax is a bit disappointing (though fittingly juvenile), but Oswalt and Corrigan's final scene is so good I'll forgive it.
