Critics' reviews

"Silly but not always funny, 'Wildcats' relies too much on Hawn's familiar screen persona, getting little mileage from the actress' "serious" moments, yet it manages to provide more than a chuckle or two."

TV Guide
"Despite some exuberant football action, a pair of buoyant rock-sound-track montage scenes and a tidy, uplifting finale, Wildcats is a disappointingly timid fable"

Patrick Goldstein: Los Angeles Times
"Michael Ritchie’s direction lacks his usual bite and eye for detail. There is nothing spontaneous about the action and football footage is also surprisingly dull."

Variety Staff: Variety
"The most interesting story about this movie would be the amount of money Hawn and Sylbert got paid for ripping off 'Private Benjamin"

Gene Siskel: Chicago Tribune
"The knock on movies like 'Wildcats' used to be that they belong not on the big screen, but on TV. But times have changed. Wildcats isn't good television, either. It's just Goldie Hawn's latest."

Bill Cosford: Miami Herald
"Goldie's inspirational shot at playing Sly Stallone and Burgess Meredith is undone by the trite, inner-city Hollywood context she always favours"
