Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Just Not the Original
This version of the movie was such a huge disappointment. If you have never seen this movie, do yourself a favor and watch the original. There was no chemistry between any of the actors in this newer version, so it was hard to be pulled into the emotion of this tragic story. The original ripped me to shreds when I watched it years ago, but this version does not give justice to the true story. I remember when this all happened, as I am sure all of the actors in the original version did as well. Maybe ... Read More
Rating: - Pretty Darned Good for a Remake
I have seen both the 1971 and the 2001 versions of Brian's Song and I believe that each movie has its strengths and weaknesses. Certainly, a few of the strenghts of the 1971 version include the remarkable musical score, the obvious chemistry between Billy Dee Williams and James Caan, and the use of real footage of Piccolo and Sayers playing football.

Rating:  - This is a poor remake
It really looks like it was done on a shoe string budget. The football scenes are lame. Sean's Maher's Brian Piccolo was not well done...and not beleivable. GET THE ORIGINAL...it is worth it
Rating:  - The New Version Will Make You Cry.
I first seen the remake of Brian's Song on ABC's Wonderful World Of Disney broadcast and at the ending of the film,I was reminded of the death of Walter Payton, another Chicago Bears legend. I am surprised this made-for-TV movie had not won an Emmy for best TV film. I would recommend this film to all Bears fans. For those who would prefer the original version starring Billy Dee Williams and James Caan, that is okay as well.
Rating: - What movie are you all watching?
When we watched this remake of Brian's Song, it was not by design. We had requested the 1971 version from Netflix, but the DVD was damaged in the mail and they resent the 2001 remake by mistake. But instead of sending it back again, we thought "what the hec, let's give it a chance." While we didn't expect it to live up to the beloved original, nothing could prepare us for how god-awful it was. So when we saw all the stars given to this remake, we were utterly mystified. Other than Mekhi Phifer's performance, ... Read More
