Preview: Harvard Beats Yale 29-29 (2009)

Synopsis:

This is a documentary about a legendary football game from 1968 where undefeated college football teams for Harvard and Yale face off.

• Poster: C

Review:

So we're properly set in the period in which the game took place, this poster is appropriate. However, the title could have been less blocky and done in an entirely different color.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

Football documentaries don't really appeal to me, but there are elements that intrigue me, especially the title which leads me to believe that some historic tie-break was applied to this game but which isn't alluded to in this trailer.

Oscar Prospects:

Sports documentaries aren't always a hot ticket item with the Academy, but it could be a contender simply because it has some well known names in it.

Release Date:

• March 6, 2009
