Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The Scout is the best comedy-fantasy about baseball ever made, which goes to show that if Hollywood keeps trying, eventually someone will get it right.
– Richard Schickel,
TIME Magazine,
12 Aug 2009
rotten:
Even with the modest allure of Albert Brooks in what amounts to a mainstream effort, The Scout should get a quick trip to the showers.
– Brian Lowry,
Variety,
26 Mar 2009
rotten:
The Scout was directed by Michael Ritchie and written by Mr. Brooks and Monica Johnson from a script written by Andrew Bergman years ago. It's probably not all that valuable to wonder how so many talented people went so wrong.
– Caryn James,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
rotten:
Rarely does a movie start high and go downhill so fast. It's as if the filmmakers progressively lost their nerve with every additional scene.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
A genuine -- and immensely enjoyable -- curiosity.
– Hal Hinson,
Washington Post,
