I expected the typical documentary on a sports figure but was surprised by the cheeky humor that went along with the story. Fun commentary and well-executed! A refreshing change from the typical sports documentary!

Hard Work and Family
RebelYell_65920 August 2019
What a great story. It really picks up after act II and act III. A story about a middle class kid, his family who supports and believes in him and a drive to make the most out of his God given gifts. His father Frank is a driver and Julian listens and learns. A mother who I am sure is a driving force and a glue. His siblings who respect and support him. Not to mention the others who have helped him along the way.
A story about Hard Work and desire. No secret formula to success.
Nice motivational story about family and love.
Nothing is a given many would have been satisfied and given up after injury and tje adversity following but not Jules.
My only complaint was no Belichick and no Linemen. Though the Belichick impression was classic.

I watched this with my son and will say that we both found the father son story inspiring. The love that the Edelman family shares was uplifting. Kudos to the parents for the values passed onto their children. Teaching kids how to survive in this world is the greatest gift you can give your kids. Even when they make mistakes loving them and showing them how to get past adversity.
The humour was a great bonus showing the deep connections between the "work friends", loved it!
Lastly, I'll just say that there are some haters leaving low rating reviews just ignore them. They missed the point.

Masterfully Done

In a world filled with such boring and formulaic sports documentaries, 100%: Julian Edelman, is a breath of fresh air to say the least. I'm not much of a Patriots fan, but this look into the life and career of one of the NFL's scrappiest and most prolific WR's was entertaining and informative from start to finish. With next level celebrity cameos, a myriad of story telling devices, and great overall style, the doc had me hooked from the jump.
From here on out, I will use 100%: Julian Edelman as a measuring stick for docs I screen in my home screening room or even in theaters. I hope documentations take a page out of 100%'s playbook(no pun intended) when sitting down to plan out their next release.
If any Showtime execs are reading this, we want more content like this. Very cool.

a 76 minute advertisement paid for by Julian's marketing company
jsmith78787828 September 2019
The entire movie is basically good boy does good and feels more like a 76 minute advertisement paid for by Julian's marketing company than an objective documentary. Also the way they sidestep the entire PED fiasco by framing it in a way that "hurt" Julian's relationship with his father was embarrassing. Amateur film about an uninteresting subject.
The perfect sports documentary

As an Eagles fan, I really didn't know ANYTHING about Jules. They're AFC we're NFC...But, after watching this; I have a new appreciation for the man...A great group of people that care for one another. It's a story of standing back up; when it's easier to lay down...If you like sports or those types of stories; this is a great documentary... I hope it gets some legs under it; it deserves more recognition. This is the kind of movie that Dion Sanders would watch...:)
100% Over Inflated Ego. More shirtless slow-mo than Baywatch

I watched this thinking it might be a cool underdog story. Instead we get countless shirtless montages, D list celebrities like Michael Rappaport and Bill Burr telling you how great Edelman and the Patriots are and occasional shots of his daughter watching him work out. Nice quality daddy/daughter time.
As a bonus we get Marky Mark dropping countless F bombs but not as many as he and the studio head dropped after Mile 22 flopped worse than a European soccer player.
Why not just have Tony Robbins and Flavor Flav show up as his hype men while Edelman squeezes out 2 more shirtless reps?
I do enjoy how he makes himself a victim for taking steroids. Cue Sarah McLachlan music.
Utter garbage.

Just plain boring
bduds8 July 2019
As a Patriots and Julian Edelman fan I expected so much more than this effort. With all the hype and celebrities involved I was hoping for an inspiring, real, and ultimately entertaining piece of content. What I saw was sloppy, heavy handed and all around amateur hour. Spare yourself the hour and 15 minutes.
Weak Try for Novice Film Makers

Firstly, I'm a Patriots fan and a huge Julian Edelman fan born and raised in New England.
Knowing the Edelman story was as incredible as it is, an undersized player making it in the league and eventually getting super bowl MVP, I thought I was in for a treat. Spoiler: it sucks, I was bored within 10 minutes.
I'm a huge fan of Smoothietyme and Burgertyme, and all the social media stuff, and I love documentaries, so this doc seemed like a slam dunk.
Unfortunately, as I began watching my mood turned from gleeful to extremely disappointed. How could the writers, producers and director blow such a potentially straightforward, uplifting, and inspiring story?
Julian should find someone else to tell his story, whomever made this really muffed it up.
Whoever gave this a good review, please tell me why, I struggled to even get through the thing it was so boring.
If I were to choose a high point, Frank Edelman seems like a hell of a guy, would have loved to learn more about him.
Hope Julian's next movie venture isn't such a bust. Thanks for reading.
