American Underdog

American Underdog tells the inspirational true story of Kurt Warner (Zachary Levi), who went from a stockboy at a grocery store to a two-
time NFL MVP, Super Bowl champion, and Hall of Fame quarterback.

The film centers on Warner’s unique story and years of challenges and setbacks that could have derailed his aspirations to become an NFL player – but just when his dreams seemed
all but out of reach, with the support of his wife, Brenda (Anna Paquin), and the encouragement of his family, coaches, and teammates that Warner perseveres and finds the strength to show the world the champion that he already is. American Underdog is an uplifting story that demonstrates that anything is possible when you have faith, family and determination.

 American Underdog is a fantastic film for the family to see together this holiday season. Whether you want to see a film about the formation of a new family and the bonds of love that grow stronger, the faith of a family that chooses to trust God in all circumstances and always ready to share their faith both in private and in public arenas, or you just love watching some amazing football action...American Underdog has something for YOU! Since faith, family, and football are all of interest to me, I was very well pleased when I saw it. It's also based on the true story of a man (Kurt Warner) I have admired for many years.

Frankly, I am also a huge fan of Jon and Andy Erwin and Kevin Downes of Kingdom Story Company. Every film they make is added to my Favorites list. An added bonus for American Underdog is having Dennis Quaid in the film! I also loved seeing Danny Vinson. The film is scheduled to open Christmas Day in theaters across the nation! I highly recommend you make plans to attend opening week as an additional treat. You can BUY TICKETS in advance and avoid long lines.

There is also a 5 day Bible Study on YouVersion from American Underdog.

I Can Only Imagine

The story behind the song that went beyond the Christian music charts into the mainstream and brought the group, MercyMe, into prominence in Christian music. The movie is based on the life of musician Bart Millard and the experiences that lead to the writing of the song. Obviously, the film can only touch on a few highlights of his life and career, and J Michael Finley strikes the right note, not only with his amazing musical gift but as an actor portraying Bart Millard. The stand-out for me was Dennis Quaid. I have always been a fan and his performance as an abusive father was outstanding. "I Can Only Imagine" is a film that shows that forgiveness and redemption are always possible and the movie and song tell of the hope many believe in today. There were both tears and laughter from the audience of the sold-out screening I attended and I heard many positive comments. The Erwin Brothers step up their game with each film they make. Congratulations to cast and crew for a job well done.
