| Screen It!Jim JudyWhile those who likely broadly played, predictable sports dramedies might enjoy this pic that's based on a true story (and features a good performance by Palmer), I'd suggest you punt and find a better alternative. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThe physical setting and particular racial group may be different, but you have seen these consciously life-affirming sports-family movies before, and this one doesn't disappoint in its by-the-book generic formula. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyDirected by Fred Durst (of the band "Limp Bizkit"), "The Longshots" is a cookie-cutter feel-good kid's movie that seems like it was made by some faulty gadget stuck on auto-pilot. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe more it builds, the more it grows on you. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanAn unforced, sweet-natured story about people who find small ways to touch others and rediscover the good in themselves. |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasThis sweet inspirational story while familiar at times, keeps you thoroughly entertained by mixing healthy doses of humor into the real world drama. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenKeke Palmer has single-handedly saved another feel-good drama from drowning in sap. |
| New York TimesNathan LeeWhat makes this one different? Absolutely nothing. (Sure, it's based on a true story, but I mean come on, whatever.) |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamA cliché-riddled, warm and fuzzy, small-town sports drama. |
| Sin MagazineAustin KennedyThis is your basic, generic sports underdog movie that plays very much like an afterschool special. That's not to say it's all that bad, but one expects more when they're paying ten bucks on a Friday night. |
