CRITICS OF "The Game of Their Lives"

Oregonian

A sentimental, creaky, underwritten, overloaded picture that fails as character study, period film, sports movie and heart-stirrer.

June 03, 2005

San Francisco Chronicle

...disappointingly mediocre...

April 22, 2005

Resource

Common Sense Media

Great game, bad storytelling. Soccer buffs only.

December 18, 2010

Denver Post

...this soccer tale is about as exciting to watch as a scoreless match between opponents so defense-minded the ball never gets beyond midfield.

April 22, 2005

Christianity Today

A treat for soccer fans who have yet to see their favorite game given its due on the big screen. This won't be a classic soccer movie, but it's a start.

September 28, 2006

Film Journal International

the narrative and dialogue club us over the head in an effort to make 21st-century viewers understand why the victory of America's team over England was of such monumental importance.

March 01, 2007

Resource

Common Sense Media

The Game of Their Lives takes a standard inspirational sports movie structure.

May 09, 2005

Resource

Oregon Herald

Enough enthusiasm, authenticity, and spirited soccer play to offset the missing ingredients.

May 11, 2005

Resource

Denver Rocky Mountain News

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.

April 22, 2005

Ebert & Roeper

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.

April 25, 2005

Variety

...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.

April 22, 2005

Boston Globe

These guys give a sport that is virtually nameless in the movies a good name in this one.
