The title says it all: Kurt Warner [Zachary Levi] seemed destined to become one of the many talented American Football players who just failed to make the step to the highest level, but fate - and let's not forget God - had other plans to have. This clichéd biographical sports drama is much too predictable and only difficult to sit through thanks to Warner's sympathetic performance. Paquin plays love interest Brenda Meoni, a divorced mother of (you'll never guess) a blind son.

Biography about a living American Football legend. All American, but I have too little connection with this sport to find this film really interesting. Average.

Underrated on Moviemeter. Yes, it's a typical American sports movie, so if you're not into that, don't watch it. The film is solid and does what you would expect it to do. Acting is fine, good direction, script is fine and stays true to the actual story. It's nice that the focus is on private life, the life story, the drama and not on the sport itself. This might as well have been about any other sport. In fact, there is very little to note. Of course you have the typical 'Hollywood sentiment tricks' now and then, but again: if you don't want that, watch a Korean movie . However, what I found most special about this film was the story itself. I could hardly believe this actually happened. Kurt balances between 'an unprecedented go-getter' and 'a record for your head'. What he manages to achieve with this is phenomenal. And he is also a very likeable guy who is loyal and with very hard work (and probably only an average talent) manages to reach the top. You can realize your dreams! And that brings us back to 'the American dream'. So yes, thoroughly American, but as far as I'm concerned there's nothing wrong with that in this film. 3.5 stars.
