An entirely predictable script that chugs along to the foregone loser-beats-odds conclusion.

In another era, "Crooked Arrows" might have been an after-school special, perfect to have on the TV while cleaning the house; miss a scene while you're dusting under the couch, and you'll still know exactly what's happening later.
Farran Smith Nehme, New York Post
Rotten
"Crooked Arrows" gets points for its glimpses of Native American culture and history - the film's backers include the Onondaga Nation - but too many of these scenes are disappointingly static.
Daniel M. Gold, New York Times
Rotten
"Crooked Arrows" might involve two lesser-seen screen subjects - Native Americans and lacrosse - but it still can't break free of the usual underdog sports picture tropes.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

Routh ... does a killer Tom Cruise-in-"Jerry Maguire" homage in this swift little sports dramedy.
