American Underdog tells the inspirational true story of Kurt Warner (Zachary Levi), who went from a stockboy at a grocery store to a two-time NFL MVP, Super Bowl champion, and Hall of Fame quarterback. The film centers on Warner’s unique story and years of challenges and setbacks that could have derailed his aspirations to become an NFL player – but just when his dreams seemed all but out of reach, it is only with the support of his wife, Brenda (Anna Paquin) and the encouragement of his family, coaches, and teammates that Warnerperseveres and finds the strength to show the world the champion that he already is. American Underdog is an uplifting story that demonstrates that anything is possible when you have faith, family and determination.

Review: I’ve always rooted for underdogs my entire life.  There is something about seeing them rise above the expectations of others and succeed that I love. The story of Kurt Warner is such an inspiration to anyone who has been on the receiving end of criticism and doubt.  It shows how far you can go if you truly believe in yourself and never give up.
