Green and Gold

I felt like this movie was a fun idea but just not well executed. The actors did a fine job, but the story wasn't very cohesive and felt forced. The constant Packers references were a little over the top and the story line with the daughter and the singer didn't seem to serve any purpose or have any real consequences or effects on the characters. The family dynamics didn't feel rooted in reality and the constant dialog about the purity of farming felt pandering and overdone. Farming is a modern science and I feel like this movie doesn't treat it as such. Again, I like the idea and the actors did fine, but this movie was a big miss for me.

I went into Green and Gold with cautious optimism. After reading a few reviews, I was bracing myself for another one of those sports movies - you know, the kind that takes an unexpected hard right turn into a church parking lot about 30 minutes in.

Now, let's be clear: I'm not anti-religion. But I am against false advertising. If I'm settling in for a story about grit, football, and family, I don't want to be blindsided by a sermon in the third act. I've been burned before.

This isn't one of those movies.

Green and Gold is a genuinely heartwarming look at one family's fight to stay afloat in a world that's shifting under their feet. It's about tough choices, quiet resilience, and the things that keep us rooted - love, loyalty, and legacy.

There's humor, there's heartache, and yeah, there's soul. It hits the notes without feeling preachy or manipulative. If you're into music, football, farming, or just good storytelling that respects its audience, this one's worth your time.

It's a film about doing what's right - and for once, the filmmakers do exactly that.

If you go in with the right mindset I think you would really enjoy it.

Really good human story, no agenda, no CGI or car crashes, just a story about an old school farmer who is threatened with foreclosure.

They weave a little mid-90's Packers in there (Favre, Sterling Sharpe, Reggie White, etc) but it's far from a Packers movie.

All filmed in Door County, Wisconsin, it's a beautiful depiction of life in a family farm.

I'm sure some will see it as hokey, but I really liked the human aspect of it.

Craig T Nelson does a nice job, the scenery and setting is classic rural Wisconsin. Great visuals, and the ending is heart warming!

This movie is so special. I saw it today for the third time in a packed theater in Wisconsin. It warmed my heart to watch it again not only with my family, but also alongside strangers who were experiencing it for the first time. There was a well-deserved round of applause in the theater at the end. The Packers storyline is just one enjoyable part of an overall heartwarming, hopeful, and incredible film. The acting, the music, and the cinematography pull together beautifully. Every time I've seen it, I've laughed and cried and left wanting to tell more people to see it before it leaves theaters. Best movie I have seen in a very long time.

What a refreshing film for 2025! As a proud Wisconsinite it was great to see so many filming locations used that I've visited. Adding the Christian messaging was great and seeing all of the daily ups and downs of working on a farm was eye opening. Really enjoyed all of the acting especially Craig T Nelson. My father passed away 2 years ago and I know he would've loved seeing this as a teenager who worked on his family farm and a die hard Packer fan. If you enjoy movies with a great message then I hope you'll see it in the theaters. All the best towards making this a success. Thanks to the entire production in making this film.
