Review of When the Game Stands Tall (2014) by Mark S — 12 Jun 2015
"When the Game Stands Tall" is a high school football movie with an overtly-Christian bent, more in the family-friendly vein of Remember the Titans and less like Varsity Blues. Unlike a lot of other Christian movies, this one generally avoids the hokeyness one normally associates with the genre, besides a silly subplot involving a father who's obsessed with his son's pursuit of a state record.
Jim Caviezel brings his usual mix of stoicism and intensity in his portrayal of coach Bob LaDoceur, but the young actors who portray his players are good as well.
