This heartwarming movie tells the story of a local war hero whose son Tom goes off to war. While he's away earning medals for valor, his wife gives birth to their son Christian. However, the tragedy that ensues on a cruel battlefield will change everyone's life forever: Tom Revere is laid to rest, paying the ultimate price for freedom. Fourteen years later, Christian and his mother Kari return to the small town of Mount Columbus, nestled in the Rocky Mountains, to celebrate the holidays with family. At first, Bob and Christian are not connecting as they struggle with the pain of losing Tom, but in this beautiful story of love and forgiveness, grandfather and grandson discover a way to unite and to make a difference in their community by claiming their freedom of expression. Bob, who is both a pharmacist and the mayor of Mount Columbus, realizes that some of the freedoms his son fought and died for are eroding. The first battle he chooses to fight in his mission to restore the town's freedoms is the right to celebrate Christmas. In many ways Bob loses his "battle," but his gain is of greater value. Concluding the film is one of the most dramatic orations given in any movie, where Bob challenges the town to "Wake Up" and take back the freedoms that are being lost, one by one.

| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonIt's a bait-and-switch that masquerades as inspirational drama while pushing a political agenda. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowThis is bigotry masquerading as leadership, thuggery claiming the banner of freedom, braggadocio pretending to be strength. |
| jackiekcooper.comJackie K. CooperA Christian themed movie that needs better acting and definitely a better script. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelChris ForanA good reminder that storytelling clichés and inattention to narrative detail can detract from a movie's message. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanA workmanlike, if treacly and overblown, piece of propaganda. Its effectiveness depends entirely on the degree to which you already believe its talking points. |
| Arizona RepublicBarbara VanDenburghBookended by a pair of Ronald Reagan quotes, "Last Ounce of Courage" is pure preaching-to-the-choir poppycock. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleThe patriot-packaged Last Ounce of Courage has been made with the conviction of true zealots, but also the competence of amateurs. |
| WORLD Megan BashamThough some of the language here mirrors what we often hear from the ACLU and public-school officials, Last Ounce of Courage simplifies and dumbs down their arguments to such a degree that they become ugly stereotypes rather than real people. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanFilled with flawed ideas, subtle bigotry, and amateurish technique, Last Ounce of Courage tested my last ounce of patience. |
| Boston GlobeMark FeeneyThe problem with this numbskull travesty isn't that it's fatuous and smug (which it is). It's that it's slack and dull. |
