The Longshots Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
The Longshots is a likable enough Cinderella story, one whose heart is clearly in the right place, even if it winds up on its sleeve once too often.
Entertainment Weekly
Gregory Kirschling
The most surprising thing about the inspirational sports movie The Longshots is not that there isn't already an inspirational sports movie with that exact name. The big shock is that the director Fred Durst -- and he doesn't do half bad.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
This genuinely affecting movie, based on a true story, has a heart as big as a football field even when its plot points are telegraphed.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
A clich-riddled, warm and fuzzy, small-town sports drama.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The Longshots (awful title, guys) plays every instrument in the clich orchestra, but it at least plays them well, and its characters are likable enough to settle in with for a pleasant hour and a half.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Harper Barnes
It is unabashedly sentimental and, at times sincerely touching, mainly when Ice Cube and Palmer are alone together on the screen.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
There's nothing about the film's workmanlike, achingly conventional direction that says 'Fred Durst.' Thank God
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
Anyone familiar with other inspirational sports movies knows that they lead up to a crucial game. The Longshots is no exception.
New York Times
Nathan Lee
What makes this one different? Absolutely nothing. (Sure, it's based on a true story, but I mean come on, whatever.)
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Former Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst directs in a surprisingly dull fashion, and most of the characters, including Jasmine's mother and father, are numbingly one-dimensional.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
If I've seen one movie about a team of underdogs, I've seen a dozen. But I hadn't seen The Longshots before.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
Pithy in its real-life origins, even if trite in its formulaic construction.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
Cube gives a layered, subtle portrayal and it is a pleasure to watch Curtis bloom along with Jasmine.
Washington Post
Mike Mayo
The film works so well because the sports elements are the least important.
Newsday
John Anderson
There are few movies out right now more genuine than this Cinderella story.
Chicago Tribune
Tasha Robinson
Musicians in need of a metronome could pick up a steady beat from The Longshots, a thoroughly conventional sports-underdog movie based on the real-life first female quarterback in the Pop Warner junior football league.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
Durst and Cube and Co. have done a decent job with a movie that never set out to be more than an average crowd pleaser.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Cube opts for dramatically earnest pathos rather than simply seriocomic shtick.
