Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Jul 2, 2018
3/4
The movie's concocted out of story ingredients as old as the hills... but it's acted with such grace and good humor that we really care about what happens. Go to Full Review
Time Out Jan 26, 2006
Attractive if soft-centred basketball story, a sort of junior Rocky. Go to Full Review
Vincent Canby New York Times May 9, 2005
3.5/5
It also has some very good sequences that are not at all expected, including the smashing basketball game that concludes the film. Go to Full Review

If Robby Benson's smile doesn't make you melt, you haven't got a heart. Go to Full Review

2/4
An earnest, mostly believable study of the psychological struggle that can occur between player and coach. Go to Full Review

Hagrid S Oct 2, 2017 The 1970's were never so obvious in this movie about a freshman basketball star at odds with his head coach. Robbie Benson writes the movie like he is Pistol Pete. The basketball scenes are dated but okay. Its actually Annette O'Toole that makes this movie good to me. Just gorgeous. See more
Harry G Nov 16, 2008 This is one of my all time favorite movies and one of the most underrated basketball movies of all time. Unfortunately it's never on tv and not even available on dvd so I never get to see it. This is Robbie Benson at his best and a true classic. See more
