Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
It is unabashedly sentimental and, at times sincerely touching, mainly when Ice Cube and Palmer are alone together on the screen.

The most surprising thing about the inspirational sports movie The Longshots is not that there isn't already an inspirational sports movie with that exact name. The big shock is that the director Fred Durst -- and he doesn't do half bad.

rotten:
A cliche-riddled, warm and fuzzy, small-town sports drama.

The Longshots is a likable enough Cinderella story, one whose heart is clearly in the right place, even if it winds up on its sleeve once too often.

This genuinely affecting movie, based on a true story, has a heart as big as a football field even when its plot points are telegraphed.
