I received a free mailer of promotional items for the movie American Underdog. Opinions are my own.
Anyone who knows me knows that sports are not really my thing. Sports movies, however, are. I am a sucker for an underdog story centered around sports and Out on digital right now is the movie American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story. I was asked if I would like a special football themed mailer to help promote the movie. I had wanted to see it so I said sure and we received a really fun bunch of items. With The Big Game coming up on Sunday what better time to watch an amazing movie about a player who never gave up and went on to be an MVP. Here is the trailer and then the synopsis of the movie.
American Underdog tells the inspirational true story of Kurt Warner (Zachary Levi), who went from a stockboy at a grocery store to a two-time NFL MVP, Super Bowl champion, and Hall of Fame quarterback. The film centers on Warner’s unique story and years of challenges and setbacks that could have derailed his aspirations to become an NFL player – but just when his dreams seemed all but out of reach, it is only with the support of his wife, Brenda (Anna Paquin) and the encouragement of his family, coaches, and teammates that Warner perseveres and finds the strength to show the world the champion that he already is. American Underdog is an uplifting story that demonstrates that anything is possible when you have faith, family and determination.
Based on the Book “All Things Possible” by Kurt Warner with Michael Silver. Screenplay by Jon Erwin & David Aaron Cohen and Jon Gunn. Directed by The Erwin Brothers.
I love Zachary Levi as an actor and I am excited to see him take on this role. We will be watching the movie before the Big Game and on Big Game day we’ll be enjoying those Tostitos as well as those football shaped bowls to serve them in. I may have tried out a special recipe today to go along with the photo shoot and filled those scoops with buffalo chicken dip and topped them with melted cheese to really make them pop! The inflatable football target game is also super fun and I can see the kids having a lot of fun with that this Summer. I’ll have to fill the bottom with sand or water to keep it from toppling over. When it is filled up it will pop right back up after being knocked down. Speaking of the Summer, that insulated bag will be perfect for taking drinks to the beach.
