American Grit Audience Reviews

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
getting2me the first season of this show was very good. It took in shape people and made them accomplish military style drills and situations. The cadre were also of the highest caliber. This sophomore season has not fared well. They've turned it into more of a Doctor Phil feel good show. They've taken average or below average people off the street and they're trying to "help" them with their problems. Even the "cadre" have their own problems. They decided to put 2 "hardcore" women marines in the cadre and they are anything but hardcore. I keep expecting to see them cry every episode just like 2 of the contestants that cry every time the camera is on them. Like I said, first season was really good, this 2nd season, not so much.
hannanjc This show is easy and fun to watch. The setting (scenery) was beautiful and the lodge where they stayed was amazing. It is so cool to see places like this. Well done and entertaining challenges, inspirational dialogue and John Cena is perfect as the host! I am so impressed by him. My whole family loved this show and are now huge fans of John Cena, even though we were never into wrestling. Watching the Cadres motivate and bond with the contestants was so neat. I would love to see this show continue. I hope there are many more seasons to come. We don't watch much TV but did not miss an episode of this first season and will definitely watch the next season. This show is great- I would even love to watch all of the same Cadres return to do the next season. So great!!!
joelsrichards this is an excellent show of strength and endurance, Great Job John! always a fan, Keep up the good work. I enjoy all episodes, the productions is good and the exercises that each team has to go through is just awesome, I feel sorry for Tony, as he is the only one left on his team, I am rooting for you tony, hope you have the guts to continue, don't give up, mind over matter.Not sure how the romance is going to work out between team red and Blue, will be interesting to see what happens when the robber meet the road and they have to compete against each other, let see if love will prevail over 1/4 million dollars.
atlasmb This competition show pits four teams, led by representatives of the various military services, against each other in physical contests designed to show whether or not they have American grit. Presumably American grit is different from the grit of other nationalities. But there is ample evidence to demonstrate that Aussies, Russians, Brits, etc. all have shown remarkable courage and determination in trying circumstances.Hosted by John Cena,who has more than a token role and is a strong presence throughout the show, AG feels like a recruiting ad for the U.S. military, with language dripping in nationalism, patriotism, militarism and jingoism. It takes care to draw a line between the military way of doing things and the civilian way.The team leaders are a Navy SEAL, a Marine gunnery sergeant, an Army ranger sniper, and an Army sergeant. The latter is Noah Galloway, who competed on "Dancing with the Stars". The winning team is promised a $1,000,000 prize.The tasks are grueling and sometimes require strategy. The strategic element is undermined somewhat by the insistence of host and leaders that the military way is always the best way, which means "follow orders". Following orders is essential to military methods, in which each solider must subjugate his own goals and ego to the goals of the team. This fails to recognize superior decision making or strategizing by subordinates, because decisions are made at the top of the command structure.Those with a military background may appreciate the show because of its approach to competition. Those who appreciate the American ideal of the strong individual might enjoy more other competition shows like "American Ninja Warrior" or "Strong".
