    "Faith-based" is Hollywood-speak for "this movie has a religious protagonist and pro-religion themes". The producers and organizations behind these types of movies usually parents Christians. A recent example of this type of movie is American Underdog. These movies are different than "Christian films", which are created by Christian companies and usually have casts and crew that are almost entirely Christian. Something like The Forge would fit in this category.

    For sure. One of my previous books (All Things Possible, which was made into the movie American Underdog) covered an even more improbable story: Kurt Warner's

    Saw a trailer for Young Washington, made by Angel (which brought us that awful lying filth movie “Sound of Freedom”) and directed by Jon Erwin, who has made Christian movie schlock like American Underdog Why are Andy Serkis, Ben Kingsley, and Mary Louise Parker in this movie? What is happening??

    The I Still Believe film is probably worse but a better story. Their film American Underdog about Kurt Warner was the best, but… mediocre film. I'll stan for Kurt Warner though.

    Hey #CardSky #Football I found this football at the goodwill bin store today. I'm assuming it's a printed #KurtWarner autograph and a promo from the #AmericanUnderdog movie, but I can't find a single comp for it with my google fu, any help would be appreciated.

    I honestly hate how much I love "American Underdog" & it's Trump & RFKjr-loving actor, Zachary Levi. ▶️ "You Pay Me Per Touchdown?" — Kurt's Cocky Moment (Full Scene) | American Underdog https://youtube.com/watch?v=fufYmdRvetM #AmericanUnderdog #KurtWarner

    I can take or leave I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, but I was mostly ok with co-directors Andrew and Jon Erwin’s followup, the 2021 Christian football hagiography AMERICAN UNDERDOG, starring Zachary Levi, Anna Paquin, and Bruce McGill. www.thewrap.com/american-und...

    I wouldn't normally tolerate this sort of behavior from anyone but I've been watching the Kurt Warner movie American Underdog via 3 minute long clips that youtube keeps recommending me, and I can somehow tell that this is in fact the optimal way to watch this movie.

    1.) American Underdog (2021) This movie turned out to be so much better than I expected. Glad I gave it a chance and watched.

    Well made sports romance-drama with Zachary Levi taking advantage of his Shazam physicality to be a believable football player (and he bares enough of a resemblance to the real Kurt Warner as well). But the chemistry between him and Anna Paquin was wonderful. Just an all around nice movie that isn't overly sappy. 4.0/5
