Rating:  - Wow is this thing bad
The movie is called "Facing the Giants" and one of the first characters you meet is a small kid named David who is just trying out for the football team since he can't play soccer at his school. He becomes the back-up kicker; hmmm... what's he going to do against the Giants?
So as far as movies (just writing, acting, filming etc. not message), this movie is awful. The plot is formulaic to the point that you think it might be making fun of Christian formulaic movies.
Outside of this, the movie sends terrible messages. First is race. There is not one single black player on the football team, in Albany, GA! There is only one black character with any speaking lines - an assistant coach. He is used specifically for comic relief. The only other time he is used is when the coach ignores his input. The only other black people in the movie are all opponents. They are described as faster and stronger, but the all-white Christian team can beat them, as the main character (and writer-director) says, "we can out think them." The movie appears to promote the marginalization of blacks in a protestant christian context. Great Christian message for kids!
The second issue is Creation Care. The wife in the movie drives a gigantic SUV and the coach gets an F150 as his reward. So this double income, no child family has two gas guzzlers that destroy God's Creation of gift to mankind - and this is considered a good thing. Another great Christian message!

Rating:  - great movie
This is a great movie...brings us to tears every time we watch it. I think Christians should watch this atleast once a month just to keep in check.
Rating: - Best Christian movie ever seen!
Coach Taylor is having all kinds of problems in his life. He's about to be fired from being a football coach and he can't have any kids because of him. When things get really bad, he turns to God. Facing the Giants is a movie that expresses what God's love really is and how he can really work in people's lives. Never underestimate God. He can do anything and everything. Facing the Giants is the best Christian movie I've ever seen to this day. If you're looking for hope, turn to Facing the Giants. You won't be disappointed.
Rating: - Facing the Giants
Awesome movie!
Great family values. Great spiritual wisdom.
A must see movie.
A movie that should be in everyone's library
Rating:  - A good movie
I can't say this was really a compelling movie--it was painfully predictable in places--but it's really nice to see a movie that projects a positive image of Christianity. All too often, Christians are portrayed in movies as wackos and nut jobs. This is an enjoyable, uplifting film.
