Run the Race

First of all, I have no idea who is giving this film 1-star reviews. I assume it's being done by people who either don't like Tim Tebow or by people who can't stand Christian culture, because there is absolutely no way that any fair critic would give this movie anything close to a 1-star review.

That said, this is one of the better Christian films that I've seen. Several Christian films I've seen are what I tend to call "too cheesy" or the ending was "too happy". (I'm not a fan of everything always working out in the end -- I don't think that's realistic).

Anyway, my standards for Christian films tend to be pretty low, but at least this one had a somewhat realistic ending and I didn't find myself rolling my eyeballs during scenes, which I sometimes do.

As a male, I could relate to the emotions of two of the film's more disgruntled characters, which I appreciated. As a sports-themed film with several male characters, I thought this film would be more appealing to men -- but so far, females have rated it higher on IMDB than males have... so what do I know?

If I were a secular person watching this film, I might rate it a six or a seven out of ten. As a Christian, I'd probably give it an eight or a nine. (I gave it a nine because the 1-star reviews are obviously bogus and need to be compensated for).

For what it's worth, I thought Passion of the Christ was the best Christian film I've seen. (It didn't have much of a plot, but it was well done). The second best I've seen is "What If..." with Kevin Sorbo... and Run the Race probably takes the #3 spot. Not perfect, but pretty well done -- especially for a Christian film. Enjoy.

This movie is about real life, hardships, heartaches, love, trust, faith and forgiveness.

6/10 - an entertaining family/sports drama that did feel a little preachy at times

The only bad thing i would say was yes this movie did throw a lot of religion at you but let me say that it didn't affect the movie at all and didn't make me get angry.

It's a christian film yes but to be fair the main character is a non believer i think it actually helps the movie and makes it target Christians and non Christians which i think is good.

It also doesn't dive deep into the beliefs it's just the basic beliefs that every person should know already about Christianity, god, Jesus which is also good because that's what makes it feel like it's not shoving it down viewers throats and you will be able to just enjoy the movie for what the movie is.

This movie has family, romance, sports, and drama. It's a good movie period and it shouldn't be passed on just because it's a christian film. It has good messages that every person should live by no matter what religion you believe in which in this movie is basically LOVE and FORGIVENESS.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I played football through high school and into college. Finding a good movie about football is difficult. Many are way to corny. This movie set well with me. It was well acted and it had a really welcomed theme. Though many might sway away from a movie with a religious theme- this is much different. Each actor and actress excelled in their roles. Kelsey Reinhardt player her role perfectly. I am a big fan of Tim Tebow and the message he sends and the role model he is. It's really worth watching in these times where We all need Faith and hope.
