Made-for-TV eyewash for disheartened Bears fans to drown their sorrows in.

Chicago Reader
Rating: 2/5 --
The story of courage and humanity is a gripping one, but Gray's movie attempts to extend some of the original's minor areas, and in doing so loses emotional power.

Radio Times
On its own, somewhat obvious level, Brian's Song worked. Not least in its favor were two exceptionally fine performances: James Caan as Brian Piccolo and Billy Dee Williams as Gale Sayers.

New York Times
The film's emotions are obvious and blunt, but they get the job done.

It remains the best example of the most different of men competing fairly and getting along peacefully ever filmed.

Product Description:
Gale Sayers (Williams) joins the Chicago Bears as a running back and meets the competitive Brian Piccolo (Caan). While at first the two are rivals, they soon form a strong friendship. Things take a turn for the worse when Sayers is injured and when Piccolo begins to suffer from cancer. A poignant and well-acted movie originally made for television.
