Reception

edit

Ronnie Scheib of Variety wrote that "Name cast, occasional deft touches and nifty contrast between the two locales cannot overcome script’s terminal awkwardness."[2]

Merle Bertrand of Film Threat rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and called it a "decent, if flawed look at life in the football spotlight".[3]

Kevin Crust of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the "strong" cast is "capable of carrying the dramatic sequences."[4]
