What to Know

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. Go to Full Review Dan Callahan TheWrap 11/13/2015
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." Go to Full Review Jordan Hoffman Guardian 11/13/2015
2/5
American football is played on a rectangle, but movies about it can sure be square. Go to Full Review Dan Scully Cinema76 04/07/2020
My All American is precisely that - a snow cone. Sweet, pleasant tasting, but ultimately cold and lacking in substance. Go to Full Review Pamela Powell Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL) 08/22/2018
2.5/4
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! Go to Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher 02/24/2016
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Dominic B Jul 28 I quite enjoyed the first 40 minutes. By then I had a sugar overdose, couldn't watch anymore and needed an antidote like John Wick or so. I never finished the movie. See more Abi L 03/08/2025 Good film to watch with family. The movie is a little cheesy but the true story of Freddie is moving and can inspire us all to be brave and courageous. A sweet tribute to a deserving person. See more Brenda S 02/12/2025 True story. Must watch if you are UT alumni. See more Nicole P 02/06/2025 I thought this movie was great.

As sad as it was See more Mike C 01/26/2025 I don't under s tand how some critics can say this movie is a south park parody that's stupid ut was good and entertaining brilliant written enjoyed very much 👏 See more LVJ J 09/05/2024 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. See more Read all reviews
