My All American has a genuinely moving real-life story to tell, but writer-director Angelo Pizzo fumbles it into manipulative, melodramatic tearjerker territory.

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." Nov 13, 2015 | Full Review…

American football is played on a rectangle, but movies about it can sure be square. Nov 13, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Don't get me wrong; this film accurately shares a wonderful guy's all-too-short life with us. I only wish it had been delivered in a more well-rounded way. Nov 13, 2015 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

For those looking for a sports film of basic quality and genuine narrative, "My All American" is definitively useless. Nov 13, 2015 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

"My All American" would have done better to dig deeper in its portrayal of a man who set such a high bar for the intrinsic character of a football player. Because he's actually the kind of example the sport could really use right now. Nov 13, 2015 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

So white bread and scrubbed clean of any edges that it plays like a Saturday matinee at the cineplex in Pleasantville. Nov 13, 2015 | Rating: C | Full Review…

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! Aug 22, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

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. Aug 22, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

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. Feb 24, 2016 | Full Review…

We're never invested in the sanitary white-bread story that renounces drama and entertainment for the sake of accuracy and a squeaky-clean PG rating Jan 29, 2016 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Michael Reilly Burke and Robin Tunney are good as Steinmark's parents, while as Steinmark's devoted high-school sweetheart, Sarah Bolger makes a mark for herself as someone to watch. Nov 19, 2015 | Rating: 3/5
