Everyone's Hero Reviews

A bland feel-good flick with a positive message.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Sweet and good-natured, but ultimately it's as unremarkable as its animation.

Full Review | Original Score: C+

Old-fashioned, sweet, but ultimately disposable family fare with echoes of better films from Toy Story to The Iron Giant.

Full Review | Original Score: B-

misguided and poorly executed

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

Young boys may be enchanted by the inspirational adventure, but for anyone over the age of nine, Yankee's journey is ultimately a dull one paved with good intentions.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

The setup of this computer-animated feature is strained, the story is contrived, and the ending is downright silly.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

While this might sound amusing, animated inanimate objects can only do so much bouncing and rolling before their shtick gets stale.

Full Review | Original Score: C+

I suspect that most kids will get more excitement and thrills out of even the most meaningless end-of-season regulation ball game than they will with this film.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

The opportunity to talk to the kids who see this little film about the Reeves' story -- a real-life triumph of inspiration over tragedy -- is perhaps the best tribute to the couple this film provides.

| Original Score: 2.5/4

It's a shallow, treacly movie for children too little to question its many pointless puerilities.

Full Review | Original Score: D

Way out of the league of any of the Disney/Pixar or Dreamworks animated films.

Full Review | Original Score: C

It's difficult to find out just how much work Reeve did on the picture before his death two years ago, but the credit is a curious button on a very strange CG animated film.

Full Review | Original Score: C

A very unappealing animated feature about Babe Ruth, baseball, and family values.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

There is absolutely nothing hip or cool about Everyone's Hero, but it's so sweet, and so pleasant, and so nice that I found it impossible to dislike.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

A sweet but very forgettable animated adventure.

Maybe I don't know what kids today like, but I have sympathy for the parents. This movie is so stupid. If I were four, I'd much rather just watch Baby Einstein on a continuous loop. At least it looks pretty.

Full Review

The movie is a feast of miscalculations.

Full Review

... a modestly engaging mix of broad comedy and nostalgic fable, spiked with a few unwelcome sprinklings of gross-out gags.

Full Review

Everyone's Hero is a sweet, inspirational movie that doesn't offer any surprises, but entertains youthful audiences in a gentle, almost old-fashioned way.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

... feels more like a 1950s cartoon.
