There's an element of magic here, and it's safe to say that a certain degree of disbelief needs to be suspended, but even children may suffer to get much out of this foreign signing. Go to Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media 08/09/2016

Formulaic football drama has positive messages, no surprises Go to Full Review Mike D'Angelo The Dissolve 10/31/2013

There's scarcely a moment that doesn't feel hackneyed; at its best, it's like Friday Night Lights (movie or series) drained of everything remotely distinctive. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Facundo B @RT78377246 Mar 13 Not the movie i thought it was See more Barbara B @barbfrmrp Jan 10 Underdogs" is a film that stands out as a pleasant independent movie rather than a typical football story. While it features football elements, the movie is more focused on its characters and the challenges they face. The story centers on a chaotic high school football team in a small town. The town's largest company is on the verge of relocating to Mexico, which adds tension to the community. One of the main characters is the father of the football team's quarterback, who is an inventor trying to sell his latest invention. While "Underdogs" may be considered an average independent film, the acting quality is notably better than what is often seen in similar low-budget productions. The performances contribute to the film's overall appeal. This movie is a good choice for a relaxing afternoon, particularly on a rainy Sunday when you're in the mood for an easygoing, heartfelt story.

See more 03/10/2017 It seems like there's a good story hidden within the mediocre filmmaking and forced-feeling performances that drown this movie. There were some good moments and scenes. I finished watching it. So at least I didn't feel like giving up on it. See more 03/26/2016 Great family movie- inspirational See more 10/04/2015 Really nice little movie about Canton Ohio, Hoover and High School football A true story with lots of local celebratys including Sam Bourquin and Judge Elum!
