Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   B- Source Brief Review Grade* Atlanta Journal-Constitution Bob Townsend "A seen-it-before basketball picture redeemed by its positive message." more... B- Boston Globe Wesley Morris "...this is a movie you could watch in your sleep." more... C   Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "...the movie is not really about underdogs and winning the big game. It's about racism in American sports..." more... B   Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington "...a stand-up-and-cheer basketball tale taken from real life..." more... B   E! Online "The film faces some of the tough racial issues, but the game sequences are less than stellar." more... B- Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum "...rudimentary, music-cued rhythms of classroom civics lessons punctuated by on-court action." more... C+ filmcritic.com Sean O'Connell "Things get dicey outside the gym. Road doesn¿t ignore the blatant racism this team faced, but handles it with the ham-fisted subtly of a semi-truck." more... C- Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt "Stirring tale of a team whose big win speeds the integration of intercollegiate sports." more... B   New York Post Kyle Smith "The movie isn't interested in anything but racism and basketball, so there's no space to develop the Haskins character." more... B- New York Times A.O. Scott "Glory Road is satisfying less for its virtuosity than for its sincerity, and also because it will acquaint audiences with a remarkable episode that had ramifications far beyond the basketball court." more... B   ReelViews James Berardinelli "Glory Road's strength is the way in which it blends social awareness into the sports genre." more... B   Rolling Stone Peter Travers "Authenticity is confined to the court action..." more... C   San Francisco Chronicle Peter Hartlaub "The movie does find success as a feel-good diversion..." more... C+ Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "...lively but overly slick and grindingly predictable..." more... C- USA Today Mike Clark "An appealing Disney sports movie that underplays its potential..." more... B- * Yahoo! Movies converts each critic's published rating into a letter grade.
