The 5th Quarter

This real-life football story fumbles the ball at every decisive juncture.

The film is poorly written and directed at the most basic levels.

It isn't always warm and fuzzy, but "The 5th Quarter" at least stays true to its true story.

Football tearjerker might be too intense for younger viewers.

A well-acted drama that finds just the right balance between entertaining the audience and provoking them emotionally as well as intellectually. It will make you stand up and cheer.

The 5th Quarter confuses sympathy for empathy. This story deserves better than this amateurish production.
