This documentary is ostensibly about sport, but its about much more than that. High school football coach, Bill Courtney, has a major task on his hands. How is he going to transform a high school football team with a reputation for being easybeats, into a mean lean fighting machine? A high school that has never won anything, that rarely wins a game, and has never ever in its history made it to the playoffs?In the process of striving to achieve the impossible, he learns as we do, the importance of inspirational leadership, fatherhood and how to be a man. Every young teenage boy should watch this documentary and it should be viewed and discussed in schools across the country. Its quite frankly a masterpiece of documentary film making.

Documentary review: undefeated Undefeated is a documentary that follows the Manassas tiger's high school football team that had not won a football game in over 50 years that rises from the ashes with a brand new coach that trains them better and treats them like family into what turns into a very victorious football team. This film was not a very good documentary for me because it did not have a single original thought throughout the entire film. This documentaries originality was not very high because of the story itself it is the exact same as almost any other football movie or even in some cases the same as any sport movie ever created starting out with the underdog team that is trained and pushed hard to become one of the greats. Some of the evidence I pulled from this film to make its unoriginality show is problems going on with members of the team between fights and frustration towards each other, and the father figure coach, and even to the drama in the middle of the film that could cause a possible divide in the team. In this documentary I believe that this was real I am not saying it is fake. It would be no different than going to a random high school in the country, giving it a new coach and then seeing how that team performs after the practice and the way the coach pushes them. So do not get me wrong for thinking this is a untrue movie I just do not think that it shows a lot of originality. This documentary had a lot in common with a few other sport based films such as when the game stands tall(2014) and walking on deadfish(2008) which is another good movie about a team that rises out of the ashes of defeat. If you enjoyed this movie I would recommend watching remember the titans (2000) which shows a lot of team building in this movie. I would also recommend more than a game (2009).

I love watching sports movies of all kinds, especially football movies. Comedy, drama, whatever, but now I can add documentary to the list. This movie drew me in from the very beginning because of its wonderful story about a man willing to invest years of his life in children that nobody else would help. This is not a common thing these days and I felt like maybe the world isn't as crude and harsh as I have believed. Anyways, moving on, Undefeated was an excellent portrayal of a real underdog team with real lives. Time was spent on getting to know the players and not only on watching their games. It made me laugh and cry and get angry, any everybody knows that a great movie does that. Also, it made me want to comment on it, which I am normally way to lazy to do. If you want to see a documentary that will move you, play this movie and watch the magic happen.

Great movie worth seeing. The overall rating is far too low for this movie- don't be discouraged from seeing it.Life isn't easy and some kids learn this from their earliest days. 'Undefeated' gives us heart that some will escape the hard life of poverty they have been dealt. One coach steps in to try his best to do his part to help but the job is tough and full of harsh realities... not everything has a storybook ending in this movie or in real life. Still the movie has plenty of feel good moments, moments when you hope the kids are starting to see the light of their own potential both on and off the field. Have your teenagers and college kids see this movie. They'll appreciate you and what they have been blessed with a little more because of what they see others go through in this documentary.
