	Author	Review
United States	Randy White Common Sense Media	"A stirring movie with an important message about tolerance and fitting in (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"More notable perhaps for a roster of future stars and Oscar winners than for its unexceptional plot, this well executed film nevertheless has its charms"	POS
United Kingdom	Matt Mueller Empire	"The boys put in fine performances but sadly the script lacks the depth of what could have been a challenging story (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"[It] is surprisingly effective (...) [Brendan Fraser] is crucial to this movie's success (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Peter Rainer Los Angeles Times	"[Robert Mandel] is a superb craftsman hemmed in by an overly diagrammatic scenario (...) [Fraser's heroic] presence is employed here for a dubious larger-than-life effect."	NEU
