To be honest I never heard of Kurt Warner before. As a European American football is just not that interesting, almost nobody watches this sport, mostly because the game is interrupted every five seconds and that's just a buzz killer. We don't need commercials every five seconds but in the American culture it's all about consumption so I kinda get it. Football is the main sport here (Americans call it soccer). That said American Underdog is an interesting and entertaining movie/biography. Personnaly I wouldn't have casted Zachari Levi to play the role of Kurt Warner. I mean, he's supposed to be in college in the beginning of the movie but looks like way over thirty. His acting was okay but it could have been better. Anna Paquin that I knew from the excellent show True Blood is a decent actress, looks way better with longer hair, like almost every woman by the way. There was a good chemistry between the two main charaters. The cinematography was good, it's not just football scenes and that was a good thing to be honest. The thing I learned from this movie is that Kurt Warner did a special thing in that sport, but I will probably forget everything about him by next week. He just isn't Pele or Maradona, names the entire world knows. Worth a watch even for somebody that has absolutely no interest in the sport.
