The coach, Tandy Gerelds, tells the team to use their shared anger to unite them, but black and white players clash on and off the field. After a riot at the school, Gerelds consents to allowing traveling sports chaplain Hank Erwin to speak to the team as a "motivational speaker". Hank's speech moves nearly the entire team to accept Hank's invitation to commit their lives to Jesus Christ, and join together in prayer.

Movie Reviews

Hollywood Reporter - 10/10 by Frank ScheckThe film largely succeeds in achieving its modest goals, delivering a feel-good, real-life inspirational story in a mostly engaging fashion.
John Hanlon Reviews - 8/10 by John HanlonAn inspiring film that shows the power of faith and forgiveness on and off the field.
jackiekcooper.com - 7/10 by Jackie K. Cooper"Remember the Titans" + "Facing the Giants" + "Rudy" = "Woodlawn"!
FilmDrunk - 7/10 by Vincent ManciniIt's hard to buy that this brand of Christianity is fighting for the rights of the minority while so clearly throwing their own weight around as the majority religion.
Common Sense Media - 6/10 by Sandie Angulo ChenHeartwarming fact-based drama about faith, race, football.
Variety - 6/10 by Joe LeydonThis overly long yet consistently involving period drama... could be described, accurately, as equal parts “Remember the Titans” and revivalist tent meeting. But until the balance tips rather too blatantly toward the latter during the final minutes, the overall narrative mix of history lesson, gridiron action and spiritual uplift is effectively and satisfyingly sustained.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Michael RechtshaffenTaking those Hail Mary passes to heart, Woodlawn is a heavily Christian sports drama that almost goes the distance despite adhering closely to the inspirational movie playbook.
Movie Nation - 5/10 by Roger MooreThe whole enterprise is very much a mixed bag, but as films that cater to this audience go, Woodlawn isn’t half bad.
Flick Filosopher - 5/10 by MaryAnn JohansonA film taken with the singular American delusion that Jesus loves football... though it also throws in a new delusion: Jesus hates the U.S. Constitution.
WORLD - 5/10 by Megan BashamUnfortunately, for all its skillfully executed parts, Woodlawn's whole lacks focus.
