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.

I’ve never heard of this but it sounds like a great family movie!
Never heard of this nor knew that Natalie was in any movies. Definitely sounds like it would be worth checking out, thanks for sharing!
I have not seen the other movie but sounds like it would be a good movie. I love inspiring movies.
Sounds like a really good movie. I haven’t heard of this or seen a trailer. I am a huge movie lover so I will have to watch this!
Except for the one bad word, it does sound like it’s well worth watching. Family films are hard to find.
I loved facing the giants, so I’ll check this out!
I haven’t heard of this movie yet, thanks for sharing it!
This sounds like a really good movie. I will definitely have to check it out.
This sounds like my kind of movie. I’ll be sure to check it out!
I’m a big football fan so always enjoy a good football themed film. It’s even better that it’s inspired by a true story!
Looks like it’s a great movie. You’re review has me interested to learn more about it.
Oh wow that sounds like a great uplifting movie to watch!
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.
This sounds like a great movie for the family. I hadn’t heard of it but will be sure to rent it.
Sound like a great move to share with older kids.
Wow.. this is my first time of hearing about this movie.
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.
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.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this movie. I’m glad your family enjoyed it as ours might as well!
This sounds like a movie my nephew would really enjoy!
Never heard of this movie but I am always looking for something new to watch.
I don’t think I’ve heard of this movie, it sounds like one the boys would enjoy though.
