	Media	Author	Review
		Leonard Klady Variety	"A film that hits all the right emotional buttons, it's an intelligent , sentimental drama"
		Richard Harrington The Washington Post	"It's a sweet-natured family drama in which years of effort are rewarded by a brief moment of glory"
		Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"Sweet-natured and unsurprising, about as hard to resist as an affectionate puppy"
		Tom Milne Time Out	"Directed with composure, but no great fervour, the film's conspicuously uninterested in American football, and much concerned with testing the limits and the resilience of the American dream."
		Desmond Ryan Philadelphia Inquirer	"A tedious and simplistic celebration of the virtues of determination"
		Louis Black Austin Chronicle	"This is an affectionate movie, there are no real villains, no real heroes, just human difficulties and mundane triumphs."
