Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
The movie is also brisk and wholehearted and smarter than you expect.

The New York Times - Stephen Holden
A paint-by-numbers story that offers no surprises and a hero and villain etched in white and black with few shades of gray.
70
Washington Post - Unnamed
This flick has modest ambitions, but it delivers the goods in a fresh manner.
60
New Times (L.A.) - M.V. Moorhead
Originally, somebody may have wanted the film to be a serious exploration of the dark side of high school sports, but it ended up as just one more sports picture.

Film.com - Tom Keogh
It is an ostensibly serious story about being young and struggling to wrest control over one's life from the hands of fools, yet it doesn't behave like a serious drama that wants to lead us anywhere.
