Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
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.

fresh:
These guys give a sport that is virtually nameless in the movies a good name in this one.
– Wesley Morris,
Boston Globe,

rotten:
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.
