Facing the Giants - A Movie Review

Didn't know if I'd like it, since it was a "football" movie. But turns out it's the best movie I've seen in a long time. Made me laugh, the kids laughed, it made me cry, smile, get mad, feel all hope is lost, feel hopeful and full of joy and overall happy with watching it with my family. It didn't feel like a football movie, but it was. Once you get to know the characters, you start to really feel for them and wish things weren't as bad. But it was all a test of praise. Praise God when it's good and when it's bad. Certainly a movie for these economic times. It will give you hope again. Besides I love that red ford truck, what a blessing. 10 Stars!

This film has it all. (Family Friendly)

Facing the Giants no knee crawl persevere

If ever you needed a good pick me up movie here's a good one. Based on events that happen every day to us all. Your in for a good game movie. It's about a school with a football team called Shiloh Eagles who in the end win enough games to play at state (by divine influence). They have to play the Giants to win state.

Oh and there are so many instances of gaining things back that the coach loses, that you can't imagine a God doing anything less! He held on by a weak string of faith, which grew stronger as the coach gets back into the bible and prayer. He encourages the whole team and it gets contagious and there's a mini-revival at the school.

There's another peculiar man that totally gives up time just to pray down the school hall lockers and one day comes in and speaks a relevant word to the coach in distress. So many things happen at first that you think this can't go on, but it gets a little worse before it turns around.

His wife and him go through a trying time of wanting a baby... I can't spoil it for you. Watch this movie and you'll want to watch it again.

You can practically get this movie anywhere. If you buy online, it's available at amazon.com (see my link below). And here: at Walmart for $8.46. Also blu-ray at Walmart for $16.96

Facing the Giants - Trailer

Prepare for Rain

"With God all things are possible.
The movie was a great encouragement to me.
Facing the giants in my small business has often left me paralyzed with fear.
I'm not afraid anymore,
and I'm focused on
preparing my fields for rain."

Inspiring Reviews

"By the end of the movie, I knew it was a home run with the team. Five or six guys came up to me as we were getting on the busses and said, 'That's a real movie.' We went from the movie to work out on a high school field. I could tell the whole attitude was good; everybody was really focused." - Coach Houston Nutt

"As a coach, you always have that little block of doubt, insecurities, especially when things aren't going well. You hear people talking about you, you see boosters getting together. That hurts. On the outside, you have to be up, but on the inside, there's always a block of insecurity, a speck of a lack of confidence. That part of the movie was so real. And then seeing the coach turn to God, turn to the Bible to work through that. I could relate to that so much." - Coach Dickey Nutt

"This family-friendly and faith-filled motion picture is currently winning the hearts and minds of grassroots America. My wife, Gena, and I have seen it three times and taken others!" - Chuck Norris, via WorldNet Daily

"We laughed, we cried and we came away with a renewed sense of God's direction in our lives."

"I am going through a very hard time in my life, and this movie helped me to see God again. I realized that I have not been living for God like I should. This movie is well made, very entertaining, exciting, funny ... it is the best movie I have ever seen. "

"The infertility storyline was especially poignant for my family. There was no chance we would ever have children. To make a long story short, we have three healthy biological sons today. The movie gave my boys a little insight into what their mom and I went through, and it drove home the point how special they are. "
