Reviews
...plays like a TV movie made for everyone who subscribes to Reader's Digest. Still, its manipulations are sincere rather than cynical...
Any film that celebrates a teenager's ability to think instead of throw a ball ought to be cheered.
It will lift your spirit and make you feel good about all those who pursue their dreams in the face of large obstacles.
...so full of spirit and letter-perfect filmmaking that I defy anyone to watch this movie without getting a tingle in his or her heart.
The 'follow your dream' theme works, even though the son versus father sub-plot struggles at times.
