Movie Reviews

Boston Globe - 8/10 by Wesley MorrisWhat the cast members lack in sharpened skill they more than make up for in raw gusto and athletic scrappiness (most of the actors have logged a lot of soccer in their pasts). These guys give a sport that is virtually nameless in the movies a good name in this one.
Entertainment Weekly - 7/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumCoaching from the same playbook with which they made "Rudy" and "Hoosiers," director David Anspaugh and screenwriter Angelo Pizzo create a reverent fable.
Dallas Observer - 7/10 by Luke Y. ThompsonUnlike some other soccer movies, there's no fancy editing -- excitement is generated strictly by the actual choreography and the commentary of an English announcer.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Kevin CrustDespite strong performances by Gerard Butler and Wes Bentley as the leaders of the two factions and crisply directed soccer action, the movie lacks a powerful central presence to carry the drama.
Portland Oregonian - 5/10 by Shawn LevyBy the time of the fabled match -- which you could swear lasts a full 90 minutes -- it's all you can do to keep your skin from crawling off your body and slinking to the safety of another room. Do yourself a favor: Follow it.
The Hollywood Reporter - 5/10 by Kirk HoneycuttThe Game of Their Lives has a great sports story to tell, yet the filmmakers fumble it away.
USA Today - 5/10 by Mike ClarkBut Game really isn't a performer's movie. And the climactic contest (in which the Americans amazingly eked out a 1-0 win against England, considered by many to be the world's finest team at the time) is only serviceably staged.
L.A. Weekly - 5/10 by Chuck WilsonThe final match stirs briefly, but when it's over, the movie's energy crashes right back down again. Disappointing.
Chicago Sun-Times - 4/10 by Roger EbertObviously made with all of the best will in the world, its heart in the right place, this is a sluggish and dutiful film that plays more like a eulogy than an adventure.
Variety - 4/10 by Robert KoehlerPicturesque pic, however, lacks even a penalty kick's worth of tension and is paradoxically inert for a movie about guys running up and down the pitch for the glory of the U.S.
