| Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe movie exists for its soccer action and its fine acting. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneDavid ElliottScotland looks wonderful, the fans are often funny fanatics, the showdown sure beats a bad day of golf. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergIn other words, it's just another sports drama/character study. Yet this one makes up for in heart what it lacks in outright newness. Plus, like I already mentioned...it's Robert Duvall! C'mon! |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasNot as distinctive or even as humorous as its needs to be to stand out, but it has clearly been made with affection and care. |
| TheMovieChicks.comCherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann PaloneA sports movie with action that's exciting on the field and a story you care about off it. |
| Draxblog Movie ReviewsDragan Antulovmore like a standard Hollywood product than celebration of Beautiful Game |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawAlarms for Duvall's throbbing sincerity and his elderly propensity for patting people while he talks. |
| User ReviewTerry GAlly McCoist = Acting Legend Robert Duvall's Scottish Accent is worth watching on it's own. |
| User ReviewRory Fyfe SA nice film starring Duvall the great actor and a Scottish football great. I thought the acting was good. |
| User ReviewAlex RAs cheesy as cheesy gets, but a wonderful who's who of Scottish football in the 80s and 90s. I'm not entirely sure where Duvall went to learn his accent right enough! |
