I saw American Underdog, starring Zachary Levi-Shazam!, the Thor movies; Anna Paquin-True Blood_tv, the X_Men movies; Bruce McGill-Rizzoli & Isles_tv, Animal House and Dennis Quaid-Midway_2019, Footloose_2011.
This is a sports movie-not my favorite kind, I must admit-that is based on a true story. It's about Kurt Warner, who went from being a stock boy at a grocery store, to becoming a 2 time NFL MVP, Super Bowl Champion and a Hall of Fame Quarterback. Zachary plays Kurt, who always wanted to be those things since he was a kid but could not quite catch a break. Anna plays his girlfriend-and later, wife-and Bruce plays a man that gave Zachary his big chance with arena football. Dennis plays the coach of the Rams that sees something special in Zachary. There are ups & downs in Zachary's life-like most people-but he continues to strive for fame. It is an inspirational and heartwarming story and there are subtle hints of Christianity scattered throughout the story, mostly of his and Anna's faith, but it is not an overpowering theme.
It's rated PG for language and drinking and has a running time of 1 hour & 52 minutes.
It's not one that I would buy on DVD-not a big fan-but if you are a sports fan, it would be a good rental.
