Default Boys in the Boat - Great Movie

We saw Boys in the Boat today. What a great movie. I had read the book a few years ago, and I found the movie to be true to the book. It really captured the rags to riches story of underdogs competing in crew against the wealthy more experienced colleges. Acting was fantastic and it was beautifully filmed. The audience clapped enthusiastically at the ending. It was the first time I had been to the Epic Theater in Lake Sumter since it was taken over, and I really like that it is a dedicated theater, not a mish-mash of theater/restaurant/club. They do need some help in the concession stand though. I went out about 15 minutes before the previews started and there approximately 40 people in line to buy snacks.
