In the fall of 1994, a teacher at Chicago's run-down Steinmetz High recruits seven students for an academic decathlon team. They work long hours, preparing for the February regional event, won for ten straight years by a privileged, preppy school. Steinmetz finishes just well enough to be invited to the state meet. When a team member steals a copy of the state test, the teacher and kids face a dilemma: to remain honest, or to cheat and score a victory for kids in underfunded schools...

Pretty forgettable morality tale. Daniels is good as the teacher struggling with what he sees as a moral dilemma. However, the students range from annoying to passable and the story doesn't offer any surprises. Still, it's not bad.

For some reason this movie has stuck with me for a long time, maybe because when I saw it morality for me was still a one way street and this movie gives perspective into it or maybe because Jena Malone is magnetic. Anyway, it is fun to watch a bunch of underdogs winning even if they do it cheating, the society's reaction to it and a different view about cheating.
