It had been a while since I last saw Gridiron Gang and I couldn't find much else on, so I gave it another try. While I remember not enjoying this movie all that much when I first watched it, it turned out to be better than I remembered.

Synopsis: I came across this movie a couple days ago and, thinking it might be good for laugh or two, decided to watch it this morning before heading into the office. The movie, as it turns out, ended up exceeding my expectations. The love story between Harry (Wheeler) and his girlfriend, Maizie (Wilson), was actually pretty good, especially since it wasn't as predictable as I thought it would be.
