Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
When the Game Stands Tall is more manipulative than a hulking chiropractor. It's so busy beatifying its protagonist that it makes him into a grave idol rather than a man.

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."

Why must an extraordinary story beget such an ordinary film?

The real-life story behind When the Game Stands Tall sounds amazing. But for all its exciting sports scenes, the movie version falls flat as drama.

rotten:
When the Game Stands Tall is one of those cliche-riddled feel good movies that, by trying too hard to be inspirational, ends up as cloying and overly sentimental.
