Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
This earnest indie production comes across like formulaic fiction while taking cues (and recycling cliches) from the 'inspirational sports drama' playbook.
– Joe Leydon,
Variety,
29 Sep 2008
rotten:
It's definitely possible to make artful message movies -- just consider the filmography of ex-Mormon iconoclast Richard Dutcher -- but Forever Strong is generic faith-and-redemption fare, devoid of nuance.
– Noel Murray,
AV Club,
26 Sep 2008
rotten:
As directed by Ryan Little and written by David Pliler, Forever Strong dredges up every sports movie cliche and stereotype ever invented. (Cue the slow-mo in the rain.)
– V.A. Musetto,
New York Post,

fresh:
The movie is well shot and edited, the rugby scenes are enjoyable (if likely puzzling to the uninitiated) and Strong's earnestness excuses at least some of its predictability.
– Michael Ordona,
Los Angeles Times,
26 Sep 2008
rotten:
The whole package here is warmed-over mush from a hundred other sports movies, a tale padded out with game footage, training sequences, absurd coincidences, life lessons that teach nothing and wasted casting.
