Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
First-time director James Gartner observes all the rituals--the coach busting chops, the team sneaking out to party--but the players are indifferently characterized and the civil rights story has a fake Black History Month feel.
– J. R. Jones,
Chicago Reader,
25 Mar 2008
rotten:
An underdog sports movie by the numbers.
– Scott Tobias,
AV Club,
27 Nov 2006
fresh:
Glory Road is a rousing and worthy tribute to one of the most important college basketball teams and one of the most important championship games of all time.
– Richard Roeper,
Ebert & Roeper,
26 Jan 2006
rotten:
The team's accomplishments are here diluted into fodder for another of the producer's feel-good man-weepies.
– Matt Singer,
Village Voice,
17 Jan 2006
fresh:
An appealing Disney sports movie that underplays its potential, Glory Road is at least a more satisfying basketball saga than last year's Coach Carter.
