The incredible true story of a large and handsome man who was good at football and — thanks to his enduring faith in Jesus Christ — never gave up on his dream of playing it for enormous sums of money, Andrew and Jon Erwin’s “American Underdog” doesn’t quite sell the “against the odds” angle promised by its title. Which isn’t to say that Kurt Warner’s mythic rise from Cedar Falls supermarket clerk to the oldest Super Bowl-winning quarterback in NFL history was unworthy of being adapted into a mawkishly competent sports biopic, only that it’s kind of miraculous when anyone manages to become a famous athlete (as this movie’s opening narration spells out for us in statistical detail), and the…

Inspirational Christian movie about how with the help of Jesus a woman who looks like Gozer the Gozerian and has two kids from a previous marriage can bag a Super Bowl winning QB. Truly Brenda Warner is the greatest underdog story.

The way it just casually needle drops Boom by P.O.D. at one point should tell you all you need to know about this.

Despite following many of the tropes of both biopics and sports movies to the letter, this real-life Cinderella story still has a certain charm. In the style and writing, there is an inspirational element that is almost characteristic of Christian cinema, and the Erwin Brothers balance all these aspects seamlessly. In addition, the directors do something that many Christians are reluctant to do for some reason, and that is making their movies feel cinematic, and in this case the directors inject a great deal of energy through fluid camerawork and very rhythmic editing, especially in the endgame sequence.
Levi does an excellent job portraying our protagonist, injecting a great deal of his charisma that is so characteristic of him. In…

This one was a beautiful surprise.
It’s been so long since I saw a sudden feel good drama that actually worked. The whole cast especially Zachary and Anna were amazing. Their relationship and their whole family were sweet and full of love and warmth.
The two kids particularly the blind kid Zack was adorable. This character broke me and had me in tears towards the end. Totally beautiful!
The game sequences were fun and it was great to see his career’s ups and downs. The journey of hope was stunningly executed. The writing was strong and it kept me invested in the ride from start to finish.
This is your usual underdog story but this one heart beats fast and louder, so you simply can’t avoid. A wholesome watch, it will stay with me for a long time.A solid 88% for this

Yes, I know it’s cliched and stuff like that, but hey, I liked it 🤷♂️.

This movie already sucks but the fact that they used a 40-year old man to act as a 5th year senior just tops it off

My main take away from this movie is that Los Angeles is an evil city and should not have taken away the rams from St. Louis it is a tragedy that this underdog team from an underdog city no longer exists and is now just 1/2 of the LA football programs. Anyways Anybody who says that christian conservatives can't make good art is just lying completely. I am neither one of those things and damnit by the end if i wasn't letting out a Single Southern Cowboy Man's Man teardrop from my eye. Growing up and to this day i was always a massive Kurt Warner fan because of the stories i was told from my father about how a…

A movie that is so boring that you almost don't notice that it is accidentally a manifesto for two twin national entitlements; the evangelical and the American capitalist, whose belief in man's unalienable birthright(??) to have his dreams come true intersect here and form a pigskin cross with a flag draped over it.
In Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Zachary Levi played a Jewish man and in this one he plays a Christian man, a bi-faithful king. And you gotta admit, he could really CHUCK that football ;) One and a half stars!

Do what you can do, till you can do what you want to do
It's a Christian movie about football, I was never expecting to like it. But I didn't expect it to be as bland and unoriginal as it was. It's a story that so desperately wants to become a modern-day classic, but nothing it does or says sets it aside from the countless other faith based and/or football movies out there. It doesn't waste its fairly talented leads, but there's nothing memorable about them here either.
I suppose it's not awful, but there's really just nothing about it that's really worth watching it for either.
