Luke R Feb 13, 2018 Filme conta a história de um vitorioso time de futebol universitário que ficou muitos anos sem perder, e o segredo estava na união e respeito que os jogadores tinha fora de campo, sendo que com a mudança de elenco o time sofre uma derrota e vai precisar se reeguer para voltar a vencer.. excelente filme...

Ron W Jun 15, 2017 Very emotional. BUT, I don't believe much of it. First of all, I don't know the real life story, but I highly doubt that the guy gave up the chance to get a record, teenage boys aren't that selfless. Also, at the team meetings, there is NO WAY 0% that the players opened up about their feelings like they showed in the movie. Teenage boys aren't the emotional and okay wi sharing it to the world. I call BULL. It's hard to like a movie when so much of it ISN'T REAL!!! See more

Harry R Apr 3, 2017 When The Game Stands Tall is an exciting film starring Jim Cavizel as the head coach of a high school football team in California. It is based off of a true story and this particular team had a 150 game winning streak. This film shows the hardships of the team and how they overcome adversity through the season. Spoiler Alert! In this film the team comes off of a 150 game winning streak. At the start of the season in the first game they end up losing which for them is very disappointing. For the team it's very hard on them and they have to overcome this loss. The same attitude of the team from the first game carries on to the next three. It's not until the middle of season they start to overcome this loss and pull themselves back together with the help of their coach. In this exciting drama it has all of the cliché parts, characters, and even settings you would expect to see in a football movie. It has the hardships, celebrations, and the mindset of overcoming everything to be one team and act as a football "family". It even has the kid who's dad is kind of a jerk just wanting him to bring a trophy or to play good. Aside from all of that it has its sad moments and it's good moments. This film also has its own aspects to a football game too though. What makes a good movie is the acting, story plot, and how the movie is played out. I saw all of these components in this film. It has good acting, maybe not the exact best but good enough for it to make it a great movie. Not only is the acting good but so is the story line and it follows the actual story exactly how it was in real life, it tells the story and portrays it very well. This film follows the story plot very well and you actually get a feel of what it was like for this team to overcome the adversity they did. This movie I gave a five star rating not only because I'm into these kinds of movies but because I would recommend it to others as well. It is a great movie. I might not recommend to go pay to se it at the movies but I would definitely recommend someone to watch it whenever it comes on and they have some free time to watch it. See more
