American Underdog Synopsis
American Underdog tells the inspirational true story of Kurt Warner (Zachary Levi from Shazam), 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, it is only 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.
My Review
Before I watched American Underdog, the only thing I could tell you about Kurt Warner was that he was a quarterback. However, I am a fan of feel-good movies that revolve around sports, so I wanted to see what this movie was all about. My husband knew some of the background of Warner’s story, so we watched the movie together. Warner’s character in the movie is instantly likable. He has both charm and determination, which helps him meet the woman who eventually becomes his wife. Warner’s life revolves around football because it is the only thing he feels he is good at. When his football dreams are squashed, he has nothing left. He and his wife experience several setbacks that seem like they could only happen in a movie. The fact that these events are based on Warner’s actual life make the movie all the more compelling. There were several points in the movie where I could feel the emotional pain and desperation of the characters. Witnessing Warner and his family triumph over all of their obstacles is truly inspirational, and his underdog story is definitely one to cheer for.
