Top Critics Reviews

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.

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.

Why must an extraordinary story beget such an ordinary film?

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."

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.
