Much of the film follows the expected sports film arc, but the performances, including Laura Dern as Beverly Ladouceur, are so spot-on, it's an enjoyable ride despite its familiarity. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- When the Game Stands Tall is one of those cliché-riddled feel good movies that, by trying too hard to be inspirational, ends up as cloying and overly sentimental. Full Review

Rating: 1.5/5 -- Somewhere it's like a whole lot of people really liked this true story and tried really hard to make a movie out of it. The saddest part is that to me they totally failed at doing it and I think the real people in this story deserve way better. Full Review

A true tale of high school football achievement becomes a strained, by-the-numbers grab bag of uplift in the Christian sports drama "When the Game Stands Tall." Full Review

None of [its] flaws are critical wounds to the film's overall feel, which, aside from some annoying product placement by way of the fine people at Dick's Sporting Goods, comes across as sincere. Full Review
