Awarded a scholarship to the University of Texas at Austin, small but scrappy Freddie Steinmark gets a chance to play football for coach Darrell Royal (Aaron Eckhart) and the Longhorns in the late 1960s. Alongside old teammate Bobby Mitchell and new friend James Street, Steinmark helps the Longhorns find success. When Freddie suffers an injury that leads to a shocking diagnosis, the young man must utilize his indomitable spirit and courage to rise to the challenge like a true champion.

Critics Consensus

My All American has a genuinely moving real-life story to tell, but writer-director Angelo Pizzo fumbles it into manipulative, melodramatic tearjerker territory.

My All American means well, and as a film it isn't without merit; sadly there just isn't enough of it for this inspirational sports story to emerge victorious.

Rated: 2/4

Even those who love inspirational sports films might have to flinch from "My All American" is a movie so square, conservative and humorless that it winds up playing like a brutally straight-faced "South Park" parody of gridiron schmaltz."

American football is played on a rectangle, but movies about it can sure be square.

My All American is precisely that - a snow cone. Sweet, pleasant tasting, but ultimately cold and lacking in substance.

It's a story worth knowing and a life worth celebrating - we could all be inspired by this young man's insight and determination. If you're looking for a family film with an inspirational and affirming message, go!

Rated: 2.5/4

Not an inspirational football movie but the highlights reel from one, with a golden boy who is his own manic pixie dreamboat. The worst sort of hagiography.

Not sure why the low scores. Inspirational true story of a hard working player with ambitions towards a full scholarship at a competitive University.. a player with a positive attitude and lead his team towards championship despite the impact of his medical issue. I love how the school continues to honor him till this day.

This was really very very enjoyable. Not a lot of stuff these days as impactful and some of these actors were very very good and on point with their characters. I guess I could go on and on, but suffice to say have not logged into Rotten Tomatoes in a few years but had to log in and chirp up and put in my two cents for this movie. Bravo!

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

It's a good movie, and it's a great story. Like so many others I've seen in this genre, which are almost always torn down by critics like Rotten Tomatoes, the audience always seems to get it right.

Despite the low ratings by film critics who know nothing, I loved this movie. The underdog sport hero films never get old and this is another good one to add to the collection.

While the film could have used a little more three-dimensionalism, and included major facts (Freddie meeting Nixon, Nixon calling Freddie in hospital, Nixon declaring war on cancer because of Freddie), it does highlight an inspirational human.
