Top Critics Reviews

I'm not about to argue with the message, but the delivery system sinks below the level of after-school special, and the acting matches.

The wholesomeness of the message and the movie's cast make it feel 1950s retro.

rotten:
Those looking for an evening's diversion will find it an amateur exercise that has the feel of a film-school project.

Facing the Giants feels like an overly earnest church sketch of the type many evangelical congregations use as a teaching tool on Sunday between the worship music and pastor's message.

rotten:
By preaching to the converted so heavy-handedly, the filmmakers fumble an opportunity to reach beyond their target demo of devout churchgoers.
