    Bland

    Fairly bland, undramatic, slow moving movie. Acting is unpretentious but adequate.

    Great

    Anytime I watch a movie based on Christian beliefs I think it's great because even though this young man could have played football and made something of himself he choose to follow the path that God layed out for him and that's why I give this movie a 10. Thanks and I'd definitely tell my friends about it. πŸ™‚

    Amazing Movie

    This Movie made me realize how to love no matter what.

    Laughed my head off

    Wow wow wow, I don't think Covid-19 was around when this movie came out, but something stopped them short of pulling together anything worth of a complete plot. It looks like the rough draft of a movie that needed to be scrapped and redone from the beginning. Final production feels like it was done on an iPhone 5 on a long bathroom break. Should be listed under comedy because it was so bad I couldn't believe someone thought this would have been the least bit enjoyable or make any bit of sense. My insides hurt from the uncontrollable laughter.

    Looked good from summary.. not great movie

    Poor acting, weak story.. unfair comparison to Blindside as nothing like it.. nothing to do with football.. didn't go anywhere.. poor ending.. other than that, great movie...
