A failing high-school football coach finds that in order to succeed he must convince his team that there's more to sports than fame and glory in an inspirational tale of courage on the gridiron and the power of God's word. Grant Taylor (Alex Kendrick) has been coaching the Shiloh Eagles for six years, and he has yet to realize his dream of a winning season. When the team's star player transfers schools, the first three games of the new season show no promise for improvement, troubles at home begin to take their toll, and a plot among the player's fathers to have him fired finds his future in football looking bleak, Coach Taylor is faced with the prospect of either cutting his losses and admitting defeat or turning his life over to God in an attempt to test the true power of faith. With his job on the line and nothing left to lose, Coach Taylor convinces his determined team of underdogs that there's nothing they can't accomplish with a little faith -- including the miracle of a winning season when all hope seems lost. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    one of the most inspiring movies i have ever seen, highly recommended! this story of a small town high school football team that gets an opportunity to play in the state championship is really more about finding God in the midst of your pain, how doing the right thing is more important than winning, how being a friend to a man who is down is better than running him off and taking his job, and it is about holding on to hope, faith and dreams when the deck is stacked against you. several funny lines and scenes but no bad language or suggestive stuff at all. wholesome family entertainment and enlightenment. the scene of the two boys on the field where one carries the other on his back really touched my heart because it so powerfully conveys a message we need to hear.

    Great and not cheesy like some other Christian movies. everyone can relate. This movie was so good that it taught me that the Lord really makes everything happen at the right time and all we need to do is trust hime and to share your testimonies.
