My All American (2015)
TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: My All American has a genuinely moving real-life story to tell, but writer-director Angelo Pizzo fumbles it into manipulative, melodramatic tearjerker territory.

All Critics (44) | Top Critics (17) | Fresh (14) | Rotten (30) | DVD (1)
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."
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.
For those looking for a sports film of basic quality and genuine narrative, "My All American" is definitively useless.
"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.
So white bread and scrubbed clean of any edges that it plays like a Saturday matinee at the cineplex in Pleasantville.
This is ideal fodder for Pizzo's brand of college-sports inspiration, but he pours on the corn syrup a little too thick.
