Critics consensus

“An uneasy blend of solid game sequences and threadbare inspirational sports drama clichés, When the Game Stands Tall is overshadowed by better players in a crowded field.”

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.

Most often in its early stages, the melodrama onscreen edges precipitously close to dissolving into a puddle of platitudinous pabulum served in the manner of a rote Sunday school lesson.

Steven D. Greydanus

RTNational Catholic RegisterAug 22, 2014

A faith-friendly sports film that's more interested in extolling character than in developing characters.

For football fans the movie brings a famous story to life. For the rest of us it plays like an after school special with better production value.
