Steineded How sad is this?

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

atchurchtogether I know that some people think that this is not a sports movie and that it used the "guise" of sports to promote a "Christian" theme. Well, the thing is, Christianity, in reality is just like this stuff in the movie. Sometimes we hurt. We're human. This movie takes you through the true- life situation of a Christian family who lost their son in tragedy. Their faith in Jesus is all that sustains them. The mechanism in this family's, or this brother's, case is football. It's not about the sport. It's about the family and their faith in Christ. People always try to down-play our faith and hope and demean them in any way they can. But for those of us who have a real faith in Christ, we know these are just the trying times and there is life after death. Not just the way we get by after an untimely (or ANY) death, and how to get on with life, but the way we know in our heart of hearts, there is life after death. There is eternal life...somewhere. Where will YOU be when that day comes for you? There is only the side of truth in Christ or the alternative, life in eternal pain and turmoil, that is, hell. I chose life in Jesus. I pray you will, too.

vbutterfield1989 I saw this on my NetFlix it looked like an OK movie, but then i started watching it and, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone the story is a good one but the way it was put together just doesn't work. I like Ryan Merriman from his Disney movie days but in this movie I just cant get past him with the long hair and how it always looks dirty no matter what, just a bad choice in my opinion. I had no idea going into this movie it was going to be a Faith driven movie, witch I have never been a big fan of but to each our own right? The off acting, music cues and editing of this movie just threw me off I made it 3/4 the way through the movie before i had to change it to something else because of it.

marko realmonte Terribly written and directed. Terrible musical interludes in nearly every sequence. Preachy commercials about organ donation and the perils of reckless driving. It's too bad because the film could have been really great. There's a great cast. Films can have a faith-based message without being so heavy-handed, without all the bible thumping and scripture quoting.The idea of a good family coping with the senseless death of a teen-aged son is really a good idea--and one that already won the Oscar for best picture (Ordinary People directed by Robert Redford).This movie may have a slight life on the Netflix circuit--but it looks like it will lose about $5 million dollars. I've had a better film on my teeth.

bchilton77 Being a pastor, I was excited to see another faith-based movie. The movie was inspirational with great values supporting faith, dealing with the death of a loved one, and overcoming tremendous obstacles. However, I was surprised at the amount of alcohol that was promoted in the movie, especially when the mother was shown drinking shots with her friend. When she couldn't get her breath, I didn't know if it was stress or taking too big of a swig. There is a time or two when vulgar language is used in the movie. So, I would recommend this movie for Christian families, however I do not know that I would approve of watching this film in church. Do not let the eccentricities keep you from watching. Although this movie is not at the level of spiritual prowess that Fireproof and Facing the Giants are at, it is still a great movie overall.
