For fans of Friday Night Lights, you'll eat this right up. This movie - like the show - gives a health dose of heart and soul to go with the football. Well done and worth of its Oscar win.

Critic Reviews
[A] stirring, emotional portrait of a high school football team in the impoverished neighborhood of North Memphis, Tenn. Full Review
It's a bit too long and a bit too vague at times, but this is a film about dedication, progress and the bond of human effort. It just also happens to include football. Full Review
"Undefeated'' needs less of what we know we've seen (the football stuff) and more of the players' and coaches' lives, which even if we feel we've seen, we haven't. Full Review
What makes this a terrific film is how much we care about the players. Full Review

This film is distinctly minor league. But it does provide the thumbs-up emotional lift of a bumper-sticker message on game day. Full Review
It's a credit to directors Daniel Lindsay and T.J. Daniels that the personal stories of the kids and coaches resonate more than the wins and losses. Full Review
Undefeated is undeniably inspirational stuff. Full Review
