Follows a straight narrative line to its cliched ending without a deviation from formula.

Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten

Exactly what you might expect, right down to the montage of blindfolded tussling, jogging and high-fives to the tune of unrelenting inspirational music.

Stephanie Merry, Washington Post
Fresh

It may not live up to that grandiose title, but this rousingly sweet little flick is certainly nothing to go out of your way to avoid.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten

A by-the-numbers sports drama with a death grip on cliches and acting every bit as flat as the mat...

Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
Rotten

Patricia Clarkson's charismatic warmth elevates an awkward inspirational sports drama.

Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter
