Leave your thoughts about Under the Stadium Lights.
| Film ThreatAlan NgUnder The Stadium Lights stands out because of its two veteran actors in Milo Gibson and Laurence Fishburne. |
| RogerEbert.comNell MinowThe movie's dialogue is clunky and the acting is uneven, which keeps the tone more preachy than dramatic. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerBetween the cardboard characterization, the heavy-handed emotional outbursts, the intrusive murder subplot, locker room morale-boosting speeches that should have stayed in the locker room, a strange lack of meaningful emotional beats, and the utter inability to tackle its white-savior subtext, Under the Stadium Lights is pee wee by comparison to Peter Berg's All-American. |
| The New York TimesBen KenigsbergSome sports movies build to inspirational speeches; Under the Stadium Lights treats platitudes as the main event. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrA stultifying drama based on the 2009 season of the Abilene High Eagles, Lights suffers from sermonizing dialogue, amateurish performances, and an ugly racial blind spot disguised as white savior paternalism. |
| User Reviewsearls10The positive and uplifting true story of a football team faced with adversity. Honest portrayals of real people done by such actors as Laurence Fishburne, Milo Gibson, and Glenn Morshower. Well done and worth a watch. |
