It's interesting to note that there are usually critics of movies that don't make sense.
Did they truly consider the plot and context of the story that was presented?
Joe Kennedy is interviewed in the beginning and shares with the audience about some aspects of his life.
It is not always funny and can be painful to see what took place.
It seems that there is significant reason not to change it to fit someone's opinion that may not deal with facts.
I appreciate Mr. Kennedy and his family allowing their story to be told and the legal aspects explained for religious expression in our country. It was difficult for them, and he made the effort to be a fighter because of God influencing him. That is what he said and I believe him.
There are some lighthearted moments. I enjoyed seeing the backstory behind the headlines that I was familiar with.
The football coaching was character training for the team. They supported his example, but he didn't force his prayer on them.
I would hesitate to consider a review that protests so much as if the movie goer can't make his own decision.
