My All-American

            When I was searching through Netflix to try and find a good movie, I discovered the movie, My All-American, and it sounded like a very interesting story.  The main character, Freddie, is an undersized football player with dreams of playing at a well-known Division 1 school and then playing in the NFL.  His work ethic is outstanding and he has broken school records on basketball and football as only a junior and going into his senior year, he badly wants to get an offer from a college.  However, all the colleges he wants to go to think that he is too small.  The story is amazing and only gets better from here.

            With this being a true story, the directors did a great job to incorporate all parts of Freddie’s life into the movie.  The movie was so inspirational and I could watch it again and enjoy it.  The way that the producers created the plot and wrote the script was outstanding.  The characters did a fantastic job and helped the viewer to stay involved and not turn off the movie.  I didn’t turn my head from the television many times.  The movie was such an inspiration to me and I got that if you bust your butt, you can achieve anything you want to achieve.  There were multiple times throughout the movie that Freddie was put down and was talked to as if he was nothing, but he kept fighting to get better and achieve his goals. 

            At the end of the movie, while playing for the University of Texas, he helped his team win a national championship and would play in the Cotton Bowl three weeks later.  However, his leg had been hurting and when he went to the doctor it turned out to be ….   

            I’ll let you watch the movie yourself to find out what happens.  I loved the movie and would give it a 9/10 and would definitely recommend it to anyone.  If you don’t like sports that much, there is some romance in there for you romance lovers.  This was a great inspirational movie.
