Harvard didn’t waste its opportunity, passing efficiently and cycling the puck from the point to the goal line, where senior forward Charlie Johnson waited. Curry had no chance...

Trying to weave both character development and philosophical discussion may have worked in Goldberg’s novel, but falls apart in the film adaptation. The central theme of the movie, of insignificant parts coming together to form a whole of immeasurable meaning—letters make words and individuals form relationships—doesn’t translate well into a movie that is actually enjoyable to watch.
