A Tride and True American Football Story that will inspire many

| Jul 26, 2023

American Underdog is that feel-good film you admire for the emotions it arouses and the admiration it creates. For the dreamers, as much for the ones who failed as the ones who found achievement.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 21, 2022

This is the Erwin Brothers' most polished effort yet.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 27, 2022

Casting this film is one of the keys to its success. Levy not only has a similar physical appearance to Warner, but he comes across onscreen as a genuinely nice guy.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 22, 2022

Levi and Paquin are great, and have decent chemistry, but his age and her wig are far too distracting throughout the entire film. Throw in the fact that this feels like two completely different movies, and American Underdog is a struggle to get through.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 13, 2022

Levi (Shazam!) captures Warners on-the-field strengths and his old-fashioned charm, and hes well-matched with Paquins Brenda, a single mom who has learned to guard her heart after having it broken before.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 13, 2022

A slightly unsightly mess of a movie that nonetheless might lift a spirit or two – especially if those spirits belong to religious types.

| Feb 8, 2022

The film pines for a fantasy where women, Black men, and a blind kid fawn over a white male Christian underdog.

| Original Score: D | Feb 3, 2022

American Underdog (finds) a comfy medium where faith and football take their rightful places - and the story of a good man simply being true to himself provides all the drama you need.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 30, 2022

'American Underdog' is a true story that brims with hope and faith.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 17, 2022

With a real Hollywood ending and a movie-script-like life, the major beats of Kurt and Brenda Warner's ... story has been turned into an inspirational drama that's... less about football action - but all of it equally compelling.

| Original Score: B+ | Jan 14, 2022

Zachary Levi is a little old to be playing the collegiate Kurt Warner, but the story of overcoming the odds is ageless.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 10, 2022

Zachary Levi does well in tackling this story and character while wearing a friendly face.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 6, 2022

While perhaps more akin to a long field goal than a bomb for a touchdown, American Underdog nonetheless puts points on the board.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 4, 2022

This is a straight up biographical drama told in chronological order which benefits from strong performances. In lesser hands, the faith-based aspects of it could have been overcooked, but the Erwin brothers simmer the story just right.

| Original Score: B | Jan 4, 2022

Warner's true story is so compelling, that it keeps American Underdog from being head-scratchingly bad

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 31, 2021

This is one of those movies that's hard for me to dislike even with its noticeable flaws. I'm a sucker for true underdog stories and Warner's is undoubtedly one of the most amazing in sports history.

| Original Score: 86/100 | Dec 31, 2021

This one's a cut above most faith-based films - less preachy and more mainstream.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 31, 2021

Kurt Warner was a star. His biopic is just your average backup QB.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 30, 2021

Corny and poorly produced.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 30, 2021
