Men in Scoring Position

Longtime buddies Mitch and Danny are working-class guys in their 30s that life has slapped around ever since their glory days as high school jocks. Sick of the cycle of idle talk, half-baked plans and fears about the future, both guys finally decide to realize their dreams and find the perfect catalyst in Lucy, a mysterious new woman passing through town.

Directed by Timothy Rhys, Men in Scoring Position leans on a strong ensemble — Alan Gelfant, Charis Michelsen, Eric Liddell — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1999.
