AMERICAN UNDERDOG is a US sports biopic following the rise of Kurt Warner, who defied the odds to become a key figure in American Football.

violence
There are several sequences of American Football in which players are forcefully tackled, throwing them to the ground but without visible injury. In one exchange a player lashes out at another, but without detail.
language
There is use of very mild bad language ('God', 'damn', 'hell', 'heck') and a use of the words 'son of a' but without being completed or it being clearly implied that bad language was to follow.
sex
There are occasional moments in which a couple kiss, a reference to 'making out', and that a husband 'cheated' on his wife while she was pregnant.
theme
The film is about overcoming adversity, and there are sequences in which characters face, or recount facing, different challenges. A mother tells how her ex-husband accidentally dropped their baby on its head in the bathtub, but because he didn't seek medical aid immediately the child almost died, and was left blind. A woman is found in the wreckage of her parents' house following a tornado, and it is implied they died in the disaster; she is subsequently seen in tears. A man briefly refers to being abandoned by his father as a child, but they later reunited.
additional issues
There are scenes in which adults are seen drinking alcohol. Some humour is obliquely inferred from a misunderstanding in a white child's phrasing, in which he says he wants to grow up to be a "black truck driver".
