- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It's as engaging, as modest, as utterly American and as thrilling as the true-life story it's based on"
-
"In the way it combines sports with human nature, it reminded me of another wonderful Indiana sports movie, 'Breaking Away.' It's a movie that is all heart."
-
"Yet much of the movie's validity stems from time and place recreated with such authenticity that you can sense the wet chill in the morning air and the new wax pungent on the old gym floor"
-
"An involving tale about the unlikely success of a smalltown Indiana high school basketball team that paradoxically proves both rousing and too conventional."
-
"This is one of the best re-creations ever of the early-'50s Midwest"
-
"There is enough intelligence and craftsmanship in the execution of Hoosiers to make it seem, if not exactly fresh, at least respectably entertaining"
