As someone who is not the biggest fan of pro football (or any pro sports, really), boy was I surprised at how good this movie was! The 2022 season was an extremely notable one for the Philadelphia Eagles, as they went undefeated for well over half of the regular season before finishing 14-3 and clinching the conference Championship. It was star center Jason Kelce's 12th season and had him seriously considering retirement from the game. My personal opinion is that if he'd beaten his younger brother Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, he would've retired right on the mountaintop. But he lost (on a controversial defensive holding call that set up a game-winning/ending field goal!). So, despite everything (his beaten-up body, the birth of his third daughter, the wild unexpected success of his and Travis' podcast, etc.), he chose to return for the Eagles' 2023 season. To watch him as he struggles mightily with that decision right up until the NFL trade deadline ("... but where am I gonna get that feeling...?") is surprisingly moving-heart wrenching, really. It's inarguably fun to watch the incredible mind connection tight-end Travis has with his MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but for me it's more impressive still to see Jason's exemplary behavior toward and beautiful love for his wife and children. He's a Very Important Person, not just a valuable player for his team. A 9/10 film!

What a great documentary on these two bro's!
Watch This Doc
Incredibly well shot and edited with a storyline much bigger than football. This is really about the questions of what it means to be a family, what it means to be a man, and how we value what we do with the tiny amount of time we're given - whether that's in our career or in our entire life.
I already liked the Kelce's from their public personas, but this really deepened that respect. Jason really opened his life up to scrutiny and we're the better for it.
Kudos to the filmmakers for editing what must've been a herculean amount of footage into such a positive and moving portrait of the entire Kelce clan and beyond.
Must see, even if you are not an Eagles fan!
Excellent documentary about an amazing football player; Jason Kelce of the Philadelphia Eagles. What a year to capture such a journey that culminated with brother versus brother, as the Philadelphia Eagles went up against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Eagles had an amazing season from day 1, hit a bump, but still made it right to the end, Super Bowl 57! There is lots of Jason Kelce, Travis Kelce and momma Kelce. The family dynamic was an angle you don't often hear anything about, which really added depth to this documentary. So much emotion, and insight into a player, his family and the legacy that is the Philly Eagles.
