Leave your thoughts about Thunderstruck.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfBland, feebly acted comedy, concentrating more on laughs and half-realized messages of adolescent responsibility than solidifying a truly bizarre premise. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowThis "Freaky Friday" with basketball keeps throwing airballs. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonIt might be more effective with a hint of subtlety and a premise that isn't so flimsy and formulaic. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekAn innocuous boys' wish-fulfillment fantasy...that would be more at home on a family-friendly cable channel....But boys of a certain age--and their sports-minded dads--probably won't mind. |
| Screen It!Jim JudyWhat should have otherwise been an easy layup of a film bounces off the backboard and rim, and misses its shot at being something special. (Full Content Review for Parents also available) |
| Washington PostSean O’ConnellA by-the-playbook, family-friendly basketball comedy that never strays outside the paint, Thunderstruck likely won’t score much coin during its limited theatrical runs. Still, this lightly amusing confection — a Warner Premiere presentation that all too obviously resembles a typical made-for-homevid product — could rebound during playoffs in smallscreen platforms. |
| Washington ExaminerKelly Jane TorranceIt's a family-friendly movie with a warmhearted message for children that -- surprisingly -- isn't too cheesy for their parents to enjoy as well. |
| Common Sense MediaSandie Angulo ChenTalent-swapping basketball tale is bland but OK for kids. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenHeadlining a less-than-mediocre kids’ movie taints one’s brand rather than enhancing it. Just ask Shaq. |
| User ReviewJames LGreat basketball movie for kids. Baseball has any number of movies made for kids, but basketball not so much. This movie was a lot of fun, and even included some good "meta" jokes aimed at parents. |
