DVD Review: Breaking The Press

From the moment I heard of this movie I was intrigued. I hadn't heard of it, until about a month before it's DVD release date of September 20, 2011, but it sounded like the type of movie that was right up my ally.
The movie a type of prodigal son story as told by Tex Summers as he is interviewed by a sports magazine reporter. It stars Drew Waters (TV's Friday Night Lights) as Joe Conaghey, a high school basketball coach whose Christian faith is tested by a season of discontent. Joe hits rock bottom when one of his adopted sons Josh, the team's talented but self-centered star, transfers to a big-city school, betraying his teammates and family.

Ted Baehr (MovieGuide.org) said, "If you liked Facing The Giants, you will love Breaking the Press." I couldn't agree more. Even if you aren't a sports fan (or even a basketball fan) this movie will entertain you despite being centered around the game of basketball. . It was a well written, well acted movie that is inspiring and offers a great positive message in a very entertaining format.

It is refreshing to see a movie that is family friendly and doesn't fall into the trap of sexual filth that so many Hollywood films contain. Don't get me wrong some sexual situations are not left out, but is done in a family friendly way.

Breaking the Press includes a behind-the-scenes featurette on the making of the film and is available on single-disc DVD in the U.S. and Canada. The soundtrack will be available on CURB Records featuring Jamie Slocum and other known contemporary Christian Artists.

Breaking the Press, was released on DVD September 20 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and has received the Dove Foundation’s “Family-Approved” seal for all audiences over the age of twelve. I highly recommend that you watch this film with your family tonight.
