Critic Reviews of "The Game of Their Lives"
Ebert & RoeperApril 25, 2005Director David Anspaugh has a skilled touch, but there's just not that much drama to film. This is a very competent, very predictable sports film.
VarietyApril 22, 2005...lacks even a penalty kick's worth of tension and is paradoxically inert for a movie about guys running up and down the pitch for the glory of the U.S.
Boston GlobeApril 22, 2005These guys give a sport that is virtually nameless in the movies a good name in this one.
Denver Rocky Mountain NewsApril 22, 2005It's difficult to muster dislike for The Game of Their Lives, which is reasonably interesting, but it needed more grit and inspiration than this straightforward account can provide.
Denver PostApril 22, 2005...this soccer tale is about as exciting to watch as a scoreless match between opponents so defense-minded the ball never gets beyond midfield.
Common Sense MediaDecember 18, 2010Great game, bad storytelling. Soccer buffs only.
Film Journal InternationalMarch 01, 2007the narrative and dialogue club us over the head in an effort to make 21st-century viewers understand why the victory of America's team over England was of such monumental importance.
Christianity TodaySeptember 28, 2006A treat for soccer fans who have yet to see their favorite game given its due on the big screen. This won't be a classic soccer movie, but it's a start.
OregonianJune 03, 2005A sentimental, creaky, underwritten, overloaded picture that fails as character study, period film, sports movie and heart-stirrer.
Oregon HeraldMay 11, 2005Enough enthusiasm, authenticity, and spirited soccer play to offset the missing ingredients.
Common Sense MediaMay 09, 2005The Game of Their Lives takes a standard inspirational sports movie structure.
