Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
You've seen a movie that has the exact same scene after scene and the sport's just been different.
– Richard Roeper,

fresh:
A touching, spirited family movie that, in the Rocky tradition, is about a sports challenge that represents the hopes and aspirations of characters with little reason to expect success.

Madison brings us the news that miracles really can happen, and an apparent case of divine intervention is the only reason this artifact is being dumped into theaters.
