American Underdog
This the true story of Super Bowl Champion and Hall Of Famer Kurt Warner, who went from stocking shelves in a supermarket to becoming an NFL superstar.
What a great story. And its true!!
How can you not like this film??!!
Great performances by Zachary Levi as Warner and Anna Paquin as his wife Brenda.
Not going to be long here but this story is directed by Andrew and Jon Erwin and they do a great job of showing the struggles and personal victories of Warner without feeling like the film did not overstay its welcome. In fact it flew by.
This is a Christian based film on a low budget. Since it is Christian based many critics will give this movie a thumbs down. Do not listen to them...they just hate religion. In fact I hate it when a Christian based movie stops the story line, and preaches. In this film the Erwin brothers have the Christian beliefs glide into the film smoothly because it is a natural part of the Warner family.
If I had any negatives it would be the heavy weight on the negatives and not enough on the positives. We see Kurt struggle but we seem to fast forward through the good moments at the end. I wanted to see more of the rewards and not just read about them at the end. Maybe more editing in the front end and seeing more from the backend.
One final note....Hayden Zaller. He plays Zack and he steals your heart. Hayden is blind in real life.
4 out of 5 stars for American Underdog...It delivers exactly as it promised.
From the shadows as always thanks for your time
