Critic Reviews

  • Brian Lowry, Variety

    Two trips to the convent is one too many.

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    This is another one of those dreary retreads about a bunch of kids with no faith in themselves, and about how an inspiring teacher coaches them into the State Finals, where they upset the snobs from the rich school.
