Maybe there are worthy films buried in collections of spiritual homilies, but Peaceful Warrior is not one of them.
Hap Erstein, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Rotten
Don't go see Peaceful Warrior. Don't tell your friends about it. Try to forget you ever heard of the movie. Clear your mind and live in the now.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
A movie about spiritual awakening that plays like a spliced-together string of New Age fortune cookie messages.
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
Rotten
Starting with the title and extending everywhere else, Peaceful Warrior is blatantly ludicrous.
Nathan Lee, New York Times
