Director David Anspaugh has a skilled touch, but there's just not that much drama to film. This is a very competent, very predictable sports film.

...disappointingly mediocre...
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
...lacks even a penalty kick's worth of tension and is paradoxically inert for a movie about guys running up and down the pitch for the glory of the U.S.
Robert Koehler, Variety
Fresh
These guys give a sport that is virtually nameless in the movies a good name in this one.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

It's difficult to muster dislike for The Game of Their Lives, which is reasonably interesting, but it needed more grit and inspiration than this straightforward account can provide.
