Green and Gold

I felt like this movie was a fun idea but just not well executed. The actors did a fine job, but the story wasn't very cohesive and felt forced. The constant Packers references were a little over the top and the story line with the daughter and the singer didn't seem to serve any purpose or have any real consequences or effects on the characters. The family dynamics didn't feel rooted in reality and the constant dialog about the purity of farming felt pandering and overdone. Farming is a modern science and I feel like this movie doesn't treat it as such. Again, I like the idea and the actors did fine, but this movie was a big miss for me.

I went into Green and Gold with cautious optimism. After reading a few reviews, I was bracing myself for another one of those sports movies - you know, the kind that takes an unexpected hard right turn into a church parking lot about 30 minutes in.

Now, let's be clear: I'm not anti-religion. But I am against false advertising. If I'm settling in for a story about grit, football, and family, I don't want to be blindsided by a sermon in the third act. I've been burned before.

This isn't one of those movies.

Green and Gold is a genuinely heartwarming look at one family's fight to stay afloat in a world that's shifting under their feet. It's about tough choices, quiet resilience, and the things that keep us rooted - love, loyalty, and legacy.

There's humor, there's heartache, and yeah, there's soul. It hits the notes without feeling preachy or manipulative. If you're into music, football, farming, or just good storytelling that respects its audience, this one's worth your time.

It's a film about doing what's right - and for once, the filmmakers do exactly that.

What a refreshing film for 2025! As a proud Wisconsinite it was great to see so many filming locations used that I've visited. Adding the Christian messaging was great and seeing all of the daily ups and downs of working on a farm was eye opening. Really enjoyed all of the acting especially Craig T Nelson. My father passed away 2 years ago and I know he would've loved seeing this as a teenager who worked on his family farm and a die hard Packer fan. If you enjoy movies with a great message then I hope you'll see it in the theaters. All the best towards making this a success. Thanks to the entire production in making this film.

The originally-titled God Loves the Green Bay Packers is about more than just football (keeping simple, it's probably best they changed titles). We do get a training camp feel for the fanbase and scenes with tailgating; however, the flashbacks inspire things that are deeper than any real-time football action-farming and family. A grandfather, granddaughter, and multi-generational team bring out the charm, bring out hidden power in the making. I'd like to call this a picture on God and gambling. Perhaps that fits its faith mold too easily. Green & Gold is not a Fly Old Bird film, although you may enjoy this and Journey to the Ark differently.

We saw it in theaters tonight and I know I'm biased being from Wisconsin and being a die hard Packer fan myself but I believe anyone could love this film regardless of who you root for! Just a great film overall and tugs at every one of your heart strings and the acting was superb for an independent film. It helps shed light on other perspectives in different peoples life's. The ending to the movie we thought was perfect and helps bring the whole movie together and leaves you feeling like you have more faith in humanity to come together when you're at lowest in life. Great film and story. We will definitely watch again. Go Pack!
