      Kirk Honeycutt Hollywood Reporter This real-life football story fumbles the ball at every decisive juncture. Mar 25, 2011 Full Review Robert Koehler Variety The film is poorly written and directed at the most basic levels. Mar 25, 2011 Full Review Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel It scores points for being that rare "faith based film" to show a little edge. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 23, 2011 Full Review Brandy McDonnell The Oklahoman It isn't always warm and fuzzy, but "The 5th Quarter" at least stays true to its true story. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 15, 2018 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media Football tearjerker might be too intense for younger viewers. Rated: 3/5 Sep 9, 2014 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru A well-acted drama that finds just the right balance between entertaining the audience and provoking them emotionally as well as intellectually. It will make you stand up and cheer. Rated: 8.39421/10 Mar 27, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

      Shane T I lived it at Wake. This one will always be 5 stars to me. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member While it was based on real-life tragic events, I felt like this movie had a lot of potential, but, it left a lot of loose ends and didn't deliver Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member If you like movies with horrible acting, slow plot line, and to be smothered in faith then this is the movie for you. Another movie about how if God is so good how could he take our son. Just typical. Actors pop in and out of scenes without explanation of connection or purpose. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member A shallow, generic, contrived and manipulative faith-based movie that preaches to the choir. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A great yet tragic story. One of the saddest films I've ever seen Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Why does this exist? Why? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
