A struggling racewalking coach and a washed-up pro baseball player with a surprisingly natural stride team up to take on the best walker in the sport.

For all the expected beats that Clayton and Moniz utilize, the directors still manage to make a film that is surprisingly charming.

9/10

Racewalkers weaves a classic redemption story with sharp writing, layered characters, and a general sense of good will that sets it apart from anything else out there at the moment.

3.5/5

With equal parts slapstick and sincerity, Racewalkers molds a handful of sports cliches into a crowd-pleaser about perseverance and redemption that finds emotional depth by not punching down.

A-

The dumb, heartstring-tugging, underdog sports comedy genre seldom gets its due. But there are times – and these are among them - when a movie like Racewalkers is exactly the kind of feel-good sight gag we need.

Racewalkers is an absolute gem of a film. The kind of movie Hollywood used to make. Equal parts funny and heartwarming. If you are feeling down about the state of the world right now then go see Racewalkers.

Honestly just a really fun and funny movie that actually makes you laugh out loud. Exceeded my expectations and then some. As a lover of romcoms, I didn't think I would or could enjoy a movie about racewalking/sports in general. Then I watched it and it definitely surprised me in the best possible way. It's genuinely super funny and of course, not really about racewalking at all... You'll see! Worth seeing in theatres with a big group of friends.

I just saw Racewalkers, and it’s an absolute blast—funny, charming, and genuinely uplifting from start to finish. You end up really rooting for these underdogs, and by the time the final race hits, you’re grinning in your seat. If you want a feel‑good Canadian comedy that sends you out of the theatre smiling, if you want something charming, very entertaining, and different from the usual sports movies, Racewalkers is absolutely worth seeing with a crowd.

Unreal comedy. Haven’t seen a comedy where I laughed this hard in a while. Great chemistry between the two leads. Cinematography was on point. Highly recommend if you want a belly laugh.
