On Christmas Day, the Kurt Warner biopic, "Kurt Warner: American Underdog," hits theaters. It's a "faith-based" film.

There have been several movies about white football players as underdogs; Vince Papale, Rudy, etc. Warner was an unheralded free agent, but played like a superstar when he became the Ram QB. He played on even terms with the top QBs. And made the Pro Football HOF.

The Washington Post has a mildly favorable review, feels its "playing it safe." A (typical) WaPo commenter declared " a straight white guy from the Midwest can't be an underdog."

The movie plays up the love story and how their faith sustained them. I remember during the 1999 playoffs the camera kept going to the spiky-haired tough looking lady who was Kurt Warner's wife. He adopted her two children and they had five of their own.

I don't get out to the movies much but I may for this one. If not I will have to but the dvd when it comes out. I love sports and I'm also a christian. Faith is what made this
country great. Christian Values with faith equals freedom. Everything the constitution and bill of rights is about. If America is to ever be great again, we must get back to our
roots. Support local businesses. Have morals, values and pride in our nation, heritage, culture and traditions. This should be a good movie and I respect Warner alot!
