My All-American

I was worried about this film being worth a darn. My father is depicted by Aaron Eckhart. Well, it turned out much better than I ever could have asked for. I've seen people try to make a movie out of this story for decades, so I was surprised that it got finished... and released!

Well, you may not cry out loud, guys. But I guarantee you will get chills and a lump in your throat.

Sure, it's got a lot of football, but GIRLS, you will love this character played by Finn Wittrock. Then you will cry.

You are at the cinema-plex. You aren't sure what to see.... PICK THIS ONE.

As an Australian who knows absolutely nothing about American football (rugby union, rugby league and Australian football are our three types of football) this was a wonderful tearjerker of a movie. Beautifully paced and very well acted. I've never seen Eckhardt give such a well-rounded performance. This could have been just another soppy, cliched sports movie but instead it's an inspiring movie with a lot of heart. If you're not American, don't be put off. I strongly recommend it.

This is absolutely a wonderful movie and is suitable for the entire family. "My All American" will inspire and encourage you to be the very best you can be at whatever you do. It will bring a smile to your face and at times a tear to your eye. "My All American" has a phenomenal cast and they bring the reality needed to portray the characters in this true life story. "My All American" will have you cheering the highest highs and shedding a few tears at the lowest lows. This is a wonderful movie to share with your sports-loving family and friends and definitely a great choice for movie night at home.

I was in Fort Smith, Arkansas when President Nixon flew up to Fayetteville for the game. I was one of the Boy Scouts who held the rope for him on his way to Marine One.

I thoroughly enjoyed this inspirational and uplifting film. Altho I don't quite understand the game of football and abhor the violence of some of the plays, I still enjoyed this film. The acting was superb in almost all of the actors. The cinematography was very good. I didn't realize it was a true story till the end but feel real good to have gotten to know the main characters. It is a wonderful example of the true team spirit that can be found if we try and the keep on trying attitude of those who succeed in life. I highly recommend this film for all young men and women, especially high-schoolers. Altho I consider it a faith-based film, it was not preachy or overbearing in its message.
