Washington Post - Michael O'Sullivan
Surprisingly brusque yet likable film.

Salon - Stephanie Zacharek
It may follow a formula, but sometimes formula equals comforting routine. And there are times, in the movies and elsewhere, when routine is exactly what you need.

The New York Times - Stephen Holden
Its uplifting message about teamwork and caring wouldn't hurt a fly. You might even say, the movie is good for you.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
It drifts above the surface of its natural subjects, content to be a genre picture. We're always aware of the formula--and in a picture based on real life, we shouldn't be.

New York Daily News - Jami Bernard
A by-the-numbers tearjerker notable mostly for the most adorable little sluggers this side of the "Bad News Bears."
