i be a christian and i say this movie have terrible acting and unreal situation and a completely facade front for christianity . you might as well watch remember the titan and at least not mix christ in a football film like a formulaic steroid for loser . let me make some really pressing comment of what bother me in this film . 1. the school be in georgia and be a white academy school . i do not notice a single black student or player in the school . i deal with the white christian academy in the south and they be build for no other reason than to reestablish segregation . this be trouble when the movie be about christianity and christ change life . how about change the heart of segregation . ( note represent i love the token black coach while like it make up for the entirely white team and all the black giant player . ) 2. the uncritical acclaim by everyone christian about this movie . can i get a couple people to say that it be bad acting and bad filming and bad writing and in short poor compare to other movie . if we be to compare this to another football movie and would it have the same charisma and energy . 3. the half bake christianity which be show make even less sense to me than the unrealistic end . if christianity be about simply read a little scripture and pray to begin a complete life change and then do not wonder when no one will listen to what christian have to say . we want to sell christ a a cure all . he doesn not need sell and he doesn not need to be attach to such whimsical lifestyle . no wonder everyone consider christianity to be anti intellectual with this unreal presentation . i recognize this film may be inspirational to a few people . to most and it will not be . it will not give a real picture of struggle and heartfelt tension . most importantly to me and it be not christian by any mean or stretch . it have value but it fall short a a pull yourself up by the bootstraps message as shallow a positive thinking . if you live alongside people who struggle and or or those in third world living condition and this movie will be hollow a most church be today in their religion .
