Pride doesn't have much surprise, but it's a formula picture of genuine feeling.

Chicago Tribune
Howard, playing an inspirational and resourceful man up against long odds, really is an inspiration.

Charlotte Observer
It's about black athletes, and they swim. It's as reassuringly uplifting as its predecessors, but the African-American and aquatic elements set it pleasantly apart.

Washington Post
Inspired by the true story of Ellis, has Hollywood formula practically stitched to its Speedo. But the characters and the actors who play them are so captivating, we're too entertained and charmed to notice.

Miami Herald
A measured, magnificently understated and intense performance by Academy Award nominee Terrence Howard (Hustle & Flow, Crash) as Ellis gives Pride its fire and heart.
