Reviews
Washington Post - Grounded in the direct, disarming truth of their experience, the movie has a straightforward lack of cheap sentiment that saves it from being either too maudlin or saccharine-sweet, Box Office - With a career-best performance by Sandra Bullock and a terrific new talent in Quinton Aaron... A compelling portrait of an unlikely bond between two people from opposite sides of the tracks, Variety - [An] uplifting and entertaining feel-good, fact-based sports drama... Bullock is thoroughly convincing in the role, Los Angeles Times - [T]his is Bullock's movie. She is Leigh Anne to such a degree you forget you're watching one of the best-known actresses around, Hollywood Reporter - [Bullock is] an irrepressible hoot... [She] goes the distance as an unstoppable, well-coiffed, force of determination
