- 60Total FilmSimon KinnearTotal FilmSimon KinnearIt’s unashamedly broad, sentimental and clichéd, but Cox anchors proceedings with wit and tenderness, while Smith (who can act and shoot at the same time) adds wonder.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinThe Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinIn the end, the film is so guilelessly unabashed about its hokum that it becomes sort of endearing in a way, and one can’t but admire the likes of Cox, McElhone and Toby Stephens as the boo-hiss bad guy for fully committing to the corn.

- 40EmpireEmpireA well-meaning but corny football fable.
- 40The GuardianMike McCahillThe GuardianMike McCahillCox's guardedly avuncular turn might have sustained a more rigorous endeavour, but the attempt to evoke the trauma of the Munich air disaster is rendered wholly insupportable by the trifling hooey around it.
- 40Time Out LondonDave CalhounTime Out LondonDave CalhounSentimental and shallow, although just passable as a kids’ movie.
