Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Stereotypical, cliched high school football story
Whoever wrote this must have watched every high school football movie ever made and stolen plot element right and left. There is nothing, repeat, nothing in the way of an original plot element in this movie. Becuase it has a sort of luke-warm Christian theme, 25 Christian fundamentalists have given it enthusiastic 5-star reviews, which is absolutely typical for Christian-themed movies and inflates their average ratings in a very misleading ways.

Rating:  - this one great film!!!!!

Rating: - Wonderful Family Movie
My family loved this movie. Not the typical Hollywood family fare. I share none of the religious values expressed in the film. I am an atheist who has no use for born again proselitizers.

A wonderful, wholesome film that the entire family can watch. Unfortunately, this film is the exception not the rule.
Rating: - Very disappointing - especially for a Christian film

Other reviewers have mentioned the bad language and some objectionable outfits/relationships. On to the plot: again, weak. The "legendary" coach is simply a very bad coach. He yells, constantly loses his temper, violates his own advice on the field, puts ... Read More
