When the Game Stands Tall

James Caviezel, Laura Dern, and Michael Chiklis star in this sports drama inspired by the true story of celebrated football coach Bob Ladouceur (Caviezel), and the personal trials he endured while leading the De La Salle High School Spartans after an unprecedented 151-game winning streak.

“too blandly acted and directed to make much of an impact.” -Steven Farber –Hollywood Reporter

“The religion of high-school football commingles with plain old-fashioned religion in “When the Game Stands Tall,” an inspirational sports drama that goes long on sermonizing but comes up short on gridiron thrills or genuine love for the game.” -Scott Foundas –Variety
