Facing the Giants

Review by Josh Hurst | posted 9/29/2006 12:00AM

Many sports movies are formulaic and predictable, meant to be shots of adrenaline for rousing moviegoers, bringing them to their feet, and sending them out of the theater inspired and uplifted. Occasionally, ...

This Movie is so cool! It is the best movie EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it is only made by a church! You would thought it was made by a movie company! I was drawn back by it. 4 out of 4 stars i would have 5 out of 5 if there are 5 stars! There is nothing wrong with it! This mvoie is too amazing to be true!

I loved it maybe things don't always go like the movie shows but its the message in the movie that is great. The review is terrible and I think the person that did this review needs to sit down and watch it again with an open mind and heart

Fantastic movie. I was so impressed with it. Great story, great acting, one that I will be watching again. I don't think it deserved the review I just read on here.

Though obviously not the polish of Hollywood films, yet the theme and the message far exceed expectation. A great movie.

This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. In fact the "corny" acting and lines were refreshingly not hollywood. Every family should see this one - together. I think the critics are too harsh.

The basic principle of the movie is that you should trust in God and glorify Him no matter what you are going through. Kendricks' character in the movie has an eye opening conversation with a man that has been praying for revival in that school for years. I personally saw that as a way to show how God uses the things/people in our lives to draw us to Himself. The story of a Christian school and its teachers who have lost their zeal for God, but are turned around by a coach used by God to re-ignite the passion is a great way to get the message of Jesus across in this culture. Who are we to question how God uses people/situations for His glory? There are definitely stranger situations that God has used to bring sinners to the realization that they need Him. I for one loved the movie and thought they did a great job even though none of the cast had any training in acting.

I think this movie is great some of the timing is short but it is a movie, I personally feel it is a good example of showing that a person needs to lean on God no matter what. When a person is feeling defeated by the Giants of life just as David did he looked toward God and defeated Goliathe. Keep your eyes on God, always
