Critic Reviews

  • Kate Taylor, Globe and Mail

    With a script credited to five writers including its star Vinay Virmani, it is a movie that keeps skating madly off in different directions and desperately needs more coaching than director Robert Lieberman provides.

  • Peter Howell, Toronto Star

    [A] pleasant timewaster, which has a good cast but a not-so-good script.

  • Dennis Harvey, Variety

    There are no surprises here, with father-son crisis and reconciliation, scaled-down quasi-Bollywood production numbers and the climactic big game all arriving on cue.

  • Kevin Williamson, Jam! Movies

    The shakiest scenes in Breakaway, a hockey-meets-Bollywood mash-up about skating Sikh-Canadians, occur on the ice. Take that for what you will. The rest of this nimbly-paced but routinely-plotted sports fable is tolerably more entertaining.
