Critic Reviews
-
Joe Leydon, Variety
By preaching to the converted so heavy-handedly, the filmmakers fumble an opportunity to reach beyond their target demo of devout churchgoers.
-
William Lobdell, Los Angeles Times
Facing the Giants feels like an overly earnest church sketch of the type many evangelical congregations use as a teaching tool on Sunday between the worship music and pastor's message.
-
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
The wholesomeness of the message and the movie's cast make it feel 1950s retro.
-
Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
I'm not about to argue with the message, but the delivery system sinks below the level of after-school special, and the acting matches.
-
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune
The religious proselytizing in this football movie is about as subtle as a blindside hit by a 300-pound defensive end.
