What makes it different from others?

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I think this movie is excellent in so many ways I had to give it a 10, which is something I rarely do when evaluating anything. I really liked the creative and realistic manner in which the subject matter comes to light and is subsequently dealt with. Both main characters, Julia and Elliot, display the required range of emotion for a couple in this situation with a conviction that draws one in. I could not help but feel empathy for both of them. I was sorry to see it end. I hope that the success this film has had so far on the festival circuit will be followed by equal success in a release that will reach a wider audience. This is a movie that must be seen. Think The Longest Yard meets Disclosure. Why? There is plenty of football coverage for all you football fans. Disclosure was groundbreaking for its time, just as Road to Victory is for our time.

Saw this film at ReelHeart Film Fest with my boyfriend. We both liked this film, but for totally different reasons. He liked because he was an athlete in high school, and a little bit in college, so he completely identified with the main character. I thought it was more of a relationship film, which showed some of the realistic difficulties couples go through. Given what the film is about (sexual dysfunction), some of the scenes were really tough to watch, but at the end of the film, we ended up walking out of the theatre hand in hand, not really saying much, but just thinking about the film.I think this film would be good for couples to watch, especially young couples, or even old couples who find themselves going through a tough time. We talk about the film sometimes, and how what we saw relates to us (not that my boyfriend has ED!), but more how sometimes we fight because we're too proud to say that we're hurt. I don't consider myself a movie critic, but I liked this film for its message, and how I felt after I saw it.

So many times I force my husband to sit through a "chick" flick, and he just rolls his eyes. Sometimes, if it's funny, he'll laugh a little.But I think this is the only relationship film that he and I have ever watched together that we both enjoyed. And that is why I'm giving the film 10 out of 10, because it has appeal to both men and woman equally.Nearly every dynamic in the film is affected by gender, and the movie manages to do this without being sexist. I empathized with Anna's character because I could understand that she wasn't mean, but just insecure.My husband on the other hand, felt a deep bond with Elliot's character, because he could empathize with his vulnerability.This is a fantastic date movie. You will walk out of this movie with your date, and talk about it afterwards, and the subject matter is such, that those talks will definitely tell you something about the person your dating.

Seriously, I've been going to festivals for years, and more times than not what I have been subjected to lately is complete crap.Road To Victory however, has true substance. Really, it's everything that we used to think of when it came to independent film: smart script, good acting, and aptly shot. And the subject matter of drug use in sport, along with the social commentary on medicine could not be more timely. We used to rely on independent film to tackle these subjects, so it is great to see that some filmmakers are still trying to do some good with their work.The trend of film festivals lately seems to be a name actor, or a gimmick, attached to a laurel leaf. Many festivals are starting to become the exact thing they started out not to be.I predict this film will be a hit on DVD once it is done playing at the festival circuits.
