Richard N @RT63204551 Jul 12 Not really an american football fan, but really enjoyed this movie. Would recommend for a family/casual movie night See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom Jun 1 When the Game Stands Tall tells the story of the remarkable 151-game winning streak achieved by De La Salle High School in Concord, California, from 1992 to 2003. While the real-life achievement is undeniably impressive, I felt the film didn't do enough with such fascinating source material. The movie has good intentions and a positive message, but the plot development often feels predictable and formulaic. Rather than exploring the complexities behind such an extraordinary run in a deeper way, it follows a familiar sports-drama structure that rarely surprises. The performances are serviceable, and there are a few emotional moments that work, but much of the storytelling feels overly polished. As a result, the impact of the events never felt as powerful as it should have been. Overall, I don't think When the Game Stands Tall is a terrible film, but it isn't a particularly decent one either. Given the incredible true story behind it, I expected much more. I'd rate it a 4/10. See more Jordan S. @jswez Jan 23 Decent family-friendly movie and one of the more accurate portrayals of high school football, but I still found some moments slightly cheesy.

Then I looked up and the reviews and ratings weren't good - I don't understand why!!?? It's a perfect effort from snap to whistle. It's not about football for those who say - not enough football . I only created this account to leave a review The movie is great! I bought it. Right up there with Remember The Titans :) See more thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 4 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Ed R @JustcallmeER Sep 26 One of the most inspirational movies you'll ever watch, whether it be sports related or not.
