American Underdog

Brenda joined the Marines but received an early discharge when her first child, Zack, developed some medical issues. Kurt was a quarterback for a lower division college in Iowa in the early 1990s. Even though he had dreamed from a young age to play quarterback in the NFL he was not able to get drafted when his year came. So he made ends meet by working at a grocery store but never gave up hope.

Brenda and Kurt managed to forge a relationship and Kurt cherished her two young children. Eventually, even though too old and too inexperienced, Kurt got a job with an NFL team and when their starting QB was injured Kurt took over. It was a gamble but it paid off. And as they say, the rest is history.

This is a very well made movie and from what I can tell by reading bios, plus the extras on the movie disc, appears to be totally authentic. As you would expect with the Warners as producers. Truly a fine story of an American Underdog.
