Ratings and reviews

I didn't know so many stars loved Kentucky Basketball. Gave my chill bumps and a lump in my throat... love this movie about the Big Blue Nation!!! Makes me cry, heck it made Kentucky's basketball coach John Calipari cry...and it makes you SCREAM and laugh, every emotion a true fan experiences with a huge dose of PROUD.

The "Sixth Man: Bluesanity" is a glimpse into the storied program of Kentucky basketball and the fans that made it legendary. The film weaves together perspectives from the coaches, players, hollywood followers, and (most importantly) the everyday fans that live and die each year by the group of young men wearing the blue and white. It's a film that should make all fans proud and keep non-fans entertained. Congrats to the filmmakers on a job well done! #BBN

Watched this at least 4 times already. It truly depicts us, the Big Blue Nation and what we're about. If you're a fan of the CATS, then this is a must see for you. Go Big Blue!
