My All American is precisely that - a snow cone. Sweet, pleasant tasting, but ultimately cold and lacking in substance.

It's a story worth knowing and a life worth celebrating - we could all be inspired by this young man's insight and determination. If you're looking for a family film with an inspirational and affirming message, go!

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 22, 2018

My All American means well, and as a film it isn't without merit; sadly there just isn't enough of it for this inspirational sports story to emerge victorious.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 22, 2016

Not an inspirational football movie but the highlights reel from one, with a golden boy who is his own manic pixie dreamboat. The worst sort of hagiography.

| Feb 24, 2016

We're never invested in the sanitary white-bread story that renounces drama and entertainment for the sake of accuracy and a squeaky-clean PG rating

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 29, 2016

Other than a moving conclusion, this is a mediocre sports drama.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 22, 2015

Michael Reilly Burke and Robin Tunney are good as Steinmark's parents, while as Steinmark's devoted high-school sweetheart, Sarah Bolger makes a mark for herself as someone to watch.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 19, 2015

My All-American is a red-blooded, God-fearing cavalcade of wall-to-wall, inspirational earnestness.

| Nov 17, 2015

Commits a major gaffe by overpolishing Freddie Steinmark, undermining the impact of his real-life story.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 17, 2015

Everything in the film may be true, but every second feels contrived, and that's a momentum killer that leaves "My All American" wide open to an all-out blitz of rolling eyeballs.

| Original Score: C+ | Nov 14, 2015

... an easily digestible slice of Texas football nostalgia that stumbles short of the goal line.

| Nov 13, 2015

"My All American" scores additional points for its emotional impact.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 13, 2015

Even those who love inspirational sports films might have to flinch from "My All American" is a movie so square, conservative and humorless that it winds up playing like a brutally straight-faced "South Park" parody of gridiron schmaltz."

| Nov 13, 2015

Instead of genuine inspiration, the movie provides only flimsy, superficial positivity.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 13, 2015

This is the kind of movie they make you watch in grade school. It's meant to be good for you, and the entry-level script has every clich in the playbook.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Nov 13, 2015

My All American really has only one goal: putting a lump in your throat at watching a kid refuse to stop believing that every one of his dreams could come true. Lump delivered.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 13, 2015

American football is played on a rectangle, but movies about it can sure be square.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 13, 2015

Don't get me wrong; this film accurately shares a wonderful guy's all-too-short life with us. I only wish it had been delivered in a more well-rounded way.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 13, 2015

Heartfelt (if bland) football biopic is great for game fans.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 13, 2015

For those looking for a sports film of basic quality and genuine narrative, "My All American" is definitively useless.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 13, 2015
