I try to avoid movies that have sports in them because I do not understand the rules of any sports. I watched Facing the Giants because I love all their other movies. I admit though…I watched it last :). Didn’t even matter that I don’t understand football, because just like the others, the message is what’s important.
Great movie! My whole family enjoyed it, great for kids.
This is a remarkable movie that you could just watch over and over again without getting tired of it. The Coach dares his players to a challenge to believe in God for the impossible on and off the field. The students work hard at doing the challenge, but they end up finding joy in winning the games, and joy in losing the games.
