The Playbook (2013) Review by Sid Unrau (sidunrau@hotmail.com) from Orem, Utah
The set-up for the central tragedy to be responded to was carefullyset- up, almost as if a home-movie. But after the tragedy and crises offaith (people affected by the tragedy responded differently) the movieseemed to become 1) more professionally filmed and 2) more laboriouslywordy, even preachy at times. I felt that there were too many words,and that the ties to religious heroes as role-models were toostrong-handed. That said, the turning point for the main character,which included a lengthy poem (which was perfect for this moment of thefilm), was, in a word (or two or three...), excellent, inspiring,thought-provoking and, even, paradigm-shifting, evoking contemplationfor the viewer. I had the pleasure of seeing thewriter/director/one-of-the-main-actors and another main-actor after thescreening, and even they were moved by the film - again - after havingbeen involved in its making. Could use some polishing and could be abit shorter, but it is great for the whole family.
The Playbook (2013) Review by Action Jaxon from Australia
okay so I gotta say I don't normally cry during films. but I saw thisat a film festival and cried several times. the set up was very welldone and the mid point clincher is a real game changer. had tearsrolling down my face several times throughout the film. A fewcontinuity errors that are to be expected on a low budget film. But youstill get more on bigger budget films. Some very very good actingreally gives it a sense of realism. I swear I was right there on someoccasions. One of the things I really have to praise though is themusic. Brilliantly done. A few in the audience when I saw it weresaying it was a tad long. But I thought its length (108mins) was neededto serve the story and give it impact. It still comes in shorter than akendrick brothers films though. It promotes faith very well but maybetoo much at times. but overall a very well done film that WILL moveeven the sternest of heart.
The Playbook (2013) Review by Tim J from Australia
My family and I were able to see this film at a screening and Iimmediately drew comparisons to "Facing The Giants" (its hard not to)but not to be outdone, our family felt this film achieved a lot morethan FTG did.
With "Giants" I really had a false sense of 'follow god and only goodthings will happen in your life'. We all know that this isn't true. Andthis film shows the harsh realities of life even if you do followJesus.
What seems like a perfect family, begins to unravel when the son startsquestioning their families faith and beliefs and wants to start makinghis own course in life. This of course causes tension in the family andputs father and son at loggerheads. But just when you think the film isheading down the road of happiness and sugar coated clichés, thefilmmakers set you on a 'U turn' and slap you about the face with agbrilliant emotional and powerful twist that I just did not see coming.This then changes the whole course of the film. While at the same timeshowing the frailties of man.
While the spiritual message was not lost on our family, (we all tookdifferent things out of it) for me, it was that redemption can be foundin even the most innocent of souls. You just have to look for it.
There was another twist at the end that I didn't expect, and again,this added a realism to the film that was just so refreshing to see.the realistic approach, even to the point of some of the scenes beingfilmed hand held, for me, set it apart from other sports films.
The acting was mostly spot on, especially from the mother and bestfriend, who were brilliant. This is definitely a film I would see againand add to my DVD collection.
