An interesting behind-the-scenes look at one of the world's most popular spectator sports.

Rotten

Its rampant corporate sponsorship is messy and distracting, and the athleticism necessary to triumph is still less intriguing (perhaps because it's less visible) than the athleticism necessary to triumph in, say, baseball.

Erik Lundegaard, Seattle Times

Doesn't quite overcome its shameless self-promotion, but the film will satisfy the Lynyrd Skynyrd set while providing a decent explanation to those who are baffled by the sport's popularity.

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
