An entirely predictable script that chugs along to the foregone loser-beats-odds conclusion.

Gayle MacDonald, Globe and Mail

In another era, "Crooked Arrows" might have been an after-school special, perfect to have on the TV while cleaning the house; miss a scene while you're dusting under the couch, and you'll still know exactly what's happening later.

"Crooked Arrows" gets points for its glimpses of Native American culture and history - the film's backers include the Onondaga Nation - but too many of these scenes are disappointingly static.

Daniel M. Gold, New York Times
Rotten

"Crooked Arrows" might involve two lesser-seen screen subjects - Native Americans and lacrosse - but it still can't break free of the usual underdog sports picture tropes.

Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

Routh ... does a killer Tom Cruise-in-"Jerry Maguire" homage in this swift little sports dramedy.

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
