The Boys in the Boat Review | George Clooney's Uplifting Sports Drama

Director George Clooney hearkens back to classic Hollywood themes with an uplifting sports drama that would make Frank Capra and James Stewart, à la It's a Wonderful Life, proud. The Boys in the Boat, adapted from the bestselling novel by Daniel James Brown, tells the true story of the University of Washington men's rowing team, who won gold at the Munich Olympics in 1936. Their stunning victory was all the more improbable in the wake of the Great Depression, crushing poverty, and elite competition that never took them seriously.
