Reviews

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
While Ernie's on-field accomplishments were extraordinary, it was the environment in which he struggled to achieve them that makes him the worthy subject of a motion picture.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Involving and inspiring in the way a good movie about sports almost always is.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Michael Rechtshaffen
Thanks to a rock-solid performance by Dennis Quaid, nice historical touches and energetic direction by Gary Fleder, the tried-and-true formula is given a welcome shot of adrenaline.

Entertainment Weekly - Unnamed
Has Dennis Quaid really never played a college football coach before? With his handsome, craggy face and likable intensity, he was born for the job, and he's the main attraction in The Express.

Variety - Unnamed
Crowdpleasing and oh-so-predictable.
