PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Freddie (FINN WITTOCK) dreams of playing football and brings a fight to the game that is noticed by legendary coach Darrell Royal (AARON ECKHART), leading to a scholarship to play college football. With dedication and grueling practices, a victorious season is within reach, but Freddie receives a shocking diagnosis and discovers what it truly means to have the heart of a champion.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

SPECIAL FEATURES \u2013 1.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

This release comes with a matted, title embossed, slip cover<\/strong>. Inside is a redemption code for the Digital HD<\/u><\/strong> copy as well as a standard DVD Copy<\/u><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Spirit of Freddie Steinmark (2:57; HD)<\/u><\/strong> is a brief featurette with some canned interviews but includes those who knew the real-life person.<\/p>\n

A Look Inside My All American<\/em> (2:39; HD)<\/u><\/strong> is just more interview sound-bites that serves more to advertise the movie rather than giving any insight into the movie.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

My All American<\/em><\/strong> takes the Blu-ray field presented with a 1080p and in its original theatrical 2.40 widescreen aspect ratio. The picture is above average and given it is a sports drama, colors tend to be bright especially the in-game footage and detail appears decently sharp though nothing overly remarkable, just good enough.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The movie comes with a nice but low key DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track which is serviceable considering the bulk of the film is dialogue-driven though the track does come to life with the game footage. It\u2019s not the most dynamic or robust track I\u2019ve come across and I probably expected better even for the genre, but it is at least above average.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Overall, My All American<\/em><\/strong> is the clich\u00e9d sports drama but mostly well acted especially on the part of Finn Wittrock. I can\u2019t say I recommend it considering it is the type of film that will eventually air on Spike or maybe even the Hallmark Channel in a few years, not to mention it\u2019s a subject that mainly University of Texas alum will appreciate, but if you enjoy the genre, it might be a worthwhile rental. The Blu-ray offers good video and audio but is limited in the special features department.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
