    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Sean Astin's character "Hank" is actually a composite of three people: Wales Goebel, a former house builder who began reaching out to area high schools; Hank Erwin, father to co-creators Andrew Erwin and Jon Erwin, who was the team's chaplain for two years; and Mike Huckabee, whose experience at Explo 72 informed some of the dialogue.
    • Goofs
      Whilst the game scores are correctly shown on the blackboard and at the football fields, the order of the games and dates listed differ to the actual events that occurred in 1973.
    • Quotes

      Hank: I'm asking you to stand up, to make a decision, to change, to forgive, and to be forgiven.

    too much of a God thing?
    A very hard film to review, a film clearly of the "faith" genre so well produced, acted, directed, cast that it literally pulls at its own leash and tries to cross over into the mainstream.

    Also lost in the shuffle is the fact that the "mystery" evangelist who appears out of nowhere and sparks the story fathered two sons who .. big coincidence here.. produced the movie.

    A wonderful performance by Voight who frankly we take too much for granted. Compare his work here to Ray Dovovan and you will wonder if you are looking at the same actor.

    A film is in many ways the ultimate recipe for a soufflé. Leave it in the oven a few minutes too long and it falls.

    The irony is that with a little more judicious editing, a little less preaching, the objective of a true crossover might have been achieved.
