Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
A deafness-inducing but otherwise ho-hum would-be expose of shady recruiting practices by college basketball programs.
– Todd McCarthy,
Variety,

rotten:
Not even an unsentimental basketball fan like director William Friedkin can wash away all the corn syrup.

fresh:
If Mr. Friedkin didn't have to work so strenuously framing two-shots of Mr. Nolte with this seven-foot athlete, it might be hard to remember that Mr. O'Neal has a day job.
