Excitement and praise continue to roll in for “When the Game Stands Tall.” Across the country as football season gets into full swing, jersey-clad teammates are seeing the movie together.

The film features Jim Caviezel as Coach Bob Ladouceur, who led his De La Salle H.S., Concord, Calif., Spartans to the nation’s longest win streak with a focus on commitment, character and giving a “perfect effort.”

“Coach Lad’s” teams posted a 151-game winning streak that shattered all previous national records. Yet their toughest challenge was overcoming loss and tragedy to “stand tall.”

Inspired by a true story, “When the Game Stands Tall” is a film about brotherly commitment besting adversity that inspires audiences of all ages.

“As a player, you will long to have the opportunity to be involved in a program like that,” said former NFL wide receiver Tim Brown, a 16-year veteran and winner of the 1987 Heisman Trophy. “The responsibility of the players was amazing.”

NFL teams including the Denver Broncos, Washington Redskins, Chicago Bears, Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints and San Diego Chargers have all attended film screenings.
