ThiefHott Too much of everything

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

tmendler first things first the older brother is a linebacker? smallest linebacker I've ever seen. awful acting. sad story? ya sure but my god is it cheesy. its a straight to DVD/ TV movie. don't waste your time. if you want your football fix go watch Friday night lights. even the story behind the name "the 5th quarter" made me laugh my ass off, because the deceased brothers number was number 5. filled with football stock footage that doesn't look legit at all. this could very well be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. you can honestly make a drinking game out of the cheesy cringe worthy lines but you would be plastered before you even got half way through the movie.

justicep1743 Only a score of 5 would be suitable, but the movie itself deserves much higher than what it has received. I had originally only wanted to see this because Ryan Merriman was in it and it was a sports movie. After watching this movie and reading all the negative comments I had to write my first review and say this movie is really worth the watch. Aidan Quinn IMO put on an Oscar worthy performance. I honestly have not had so many tears watching a movie and it was because he made you feel the pain in a fathers heart. The moment he met the woman who received Lukes heart will stick with me for a long time.PLEASE don't let the negative views and low score deter you from watching this film.

atchurchtogether I know that some people think that this is not a sports movie and that it used the "guise" of sports to promote a "Christian" theme. Well, the thing is, Christianity, in reality is just like this stuff in the movie. Sometimes we hurt. We're human. This movie takes you through the true- life situation of a Christian family who lost their son in tragedy. Their faith in Jesus is all that sustains them. The mechanism in this family's, or this brother's, case is football. It's not about the sport. It's about the family and their faith in Christ. People always try to down-play our faith and hope and demean them in any way they can. But for those of us who have a real faith in Christ, we know these are just the trying times and there is life after death. Not just the way we get by after an untimely (or ANY) death, and how to get on with life, but the way we know in our heart of hearts, there is life after death. There is eternal life...somewhere. Where will YOU be when that day comes for you? There is only the side of truth in Christ or the alternative, life in eternal pain and turmoil, that is, hell. I chose life in Jesus. I pray you will, too.

marko realmonte Terribly written and directed. Terrible musical interludes in nearly every sequence. Preachy commercials about organ donation and the perils of reckless driving. It's too bad because the film could have been really great. There's a great cast. Films can have a faith-based message without being so heavy-handed, without all the bible thumping and scripture quoting.The idea of a good family coping with the senseless death of a teen-aged son is really a good idea--and one that already won the Oscar for best picture (Ordinary People directed by Robert Redford).This movie may have a slight life on the Netflix circuit--but it looks like it will lose about $5 million dollars. I've had a better film on my teeth.
