Being a native Baltimorean, and having played lacrosse much of my young life, I've always wondered why lacrosse hasn't been featured in more sports films. The Creator's Game is pretty much the only fictional film to completely revolve around the game. If you've read the rest of the reviews, then you probably have a sense that yes, this features a hackneyed plot, and questionable acting. However, what this brings to the table is much more than those parts--it brings a family-oriented film about a regional (but growing) sport that you could show to a kid and get them interested in it potentially. Sure to use this as lacrosse propaganda probably wasn't on the filmmakers minds, but it fits the bill.
You might want to consider that many a lacrosse fans/players/coaches/etc own this film. Unfortunately this isn't on DVD, but many *new* copies can be found on the internet. It could be considered a cult classic to lacrosse fans, despite its shortcomings.
