Underdogs Movie Review

If you liked Facing the Giants, I think you will like Underdogs. It is the story of one Ohio high school football team that opened the minds and won the hearts of their community. It was inspired by a true story.

Underdogs was a little slow paced at times but still intriguing enough to keep all our children’s attention. A couple of scenes may be objectionable depending on your preferences (pool scene and a guy opening the bathroom on a girl trying to get dressed). Some of our children said “ewww” to the kissing scenes and one of our sons counted six kisses! ;) After we finished the movie, it was so cute to hear him leave the room saying how many kisses were in the movie.

The language was good, only one reference to a$$ that I caught. So I would tend to disagree with This film has been approved for all audiences by the Dove Foundation. It will depend on your family’s values etc.

I really liked the fact there were intact families. I know families come in all shapes in sized, I am not dismissing that fact but so often movies don’t have one or the other parent and this movie had both parents of two of the teens. Also, the teens were respectful of their parents, except Johnny (quarterback for opposing team) a few times.

The story was inspiring and I loved how the team evolved under their new coach’s teaching and direction.

Our family enjoyed watching Underdogs together.

You can watch it too on video on demand (In-Demand, iTunes http://tinyurl.com/mhnspj6 or DIRECTV)! Or swing by Walmart and grab your favorite movie snacks and pick up the Underdogs DVD, on-sale now! http://www.walmart.com/ip/29114152

  13. Tammy says:

    We don’t tend to watch a lot of “sports” movies, so I haven’t even seen Facing the Giants. This would probably be a great movie to show at a youth function though. It’s always hard to find something that’s appropriate for group watching but still holds the attention of the teens.

  14. Mickey says:

  15. Sound like a great move to share with older kids.

  17. We aren’t to age-range for this movie yet in our home — but I can see it being a classic when our kids are older.

  18. HilLesha says:

    Sounds like a really interesting movie. I hate when movies “sneak” in cuss words, though. I haven’t watched Facing the Giants yet, but I’m definitely going to check that out, too.
