Once you settle in to the fact that it's a low budget movie, and some of the acting is bit amateurish, you will be moved by the story. With all the garbage that is put out these days, this is one movie the family can watch together and enjoy. The religious message is up front in the story line, which I count as a good thing. Everyone should be able to take something positive from it.

This moving movie is probably the best flick for a family to watch. It shows that nothing is impossible with God's help. The movie goes through the trials of a coach who has just lost his 6th season of football in a row, his car keeps breaking down, parents are talking about getting rid of him since he hasn't had a winner season since he has been coach, his washer works half the time, he barely makes enough money to keep his wife and him afloat, and to top it off he learns he can't have children. Totally defeated he has only one thing left he can do, put everything in God's hands. Filled with great special features which include deleted scenes, interviews and film commentary, this is a most for everyone to see.

The producers of this movie meant well. That's the sum total of the nice things that can be said about it. Other than that, it's an absolute disaster. It's horribly written, horribly acted and directed by someone who might be appropriate to direct commercials for small-market late-night cable. Theologically, it presents a false gospel that pretends that if people just start acting religious, they'll get all the desires of their hearts.
Real faith has costs. The kind of religion shown here has no cost. You just start acting the part and everything around you becomes rainbows and butterflies. A football team that can't win a game suddenly can become a state championship team. (Heck, God even changes the direction of the wind so a boy can make a winning field goal.) This is the kind of schlock that gets people emotional and ready to sign up for baptism, but that produces empty people who don't have real relationships with God.
God doesn't really care whether your team wins a football game. To think so, you have to assume that there are no Christians on the other team. They're just a bunch of cartoon cutouts like their coach. We're apparently supposed to loathe them, not love them.
In sum, it's quite simply blasphemous to call this a presentation of the Gospel. This is NOT the Gospel as presented in the Bible. This doesn't reflect God changing people's hearts and having them pay a price for following Him. It's a "me-centered" gospel which is a perfect reflection of our selfish age and our selfish modern church. Almost as bad, it's very, very horrible art.

Facing Your Giants: A David and Goliath Story for Everyday People We watched this at church and decided to order our own copy. The story line is inspirational yet there is enough worldliness to appeal to all audiences. My only reservation is that at times the acting is not as good as we are used to.
