	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Local color and credible performances boost a familiar tale"	POS
United States	Teo Bugbee The New York Times	"The result is pleasing — a stadium snow cone, palatable despite being sweetened with corn syrup."	POS
United States	Chuck Bowen Slant	"[It] offers a sampler course of formulas, which creates a strangely unfulfilling tension (...) There’s truly nothing in 'Bottom of the 9th' but plot incident (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"Joe Manganiello and Sofia Vergara are among the most valuable players in Raymond De Felitta’s affecting and effective drama"	POS
United States	Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times	"Odd camera angles and movement make the movie feel like it was directed by a less-seasoned filmmaker, and the script from Robert Bruzio has more fat than would be allowed in a pro athlete’s diet."	NEG
