Reception
The film has a 40% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on five reviews.[4]
Phuong Le of The Guardian awarded the film two stars out of five and wrote, "...this underdog, coming-of-age sports movie has a big heart but lacks the competency to execute its aspirational premise."[5]
Trace Sauveur of The Austin Chronicle also awarded the film two stars out of five and wrote, "Though good-natured, by the end it feels indistinguishable from an extended after-school special."[6]
Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times gave the film a negative review and wrote that Mitte "sells Mike's tenacity, but the contrivances around him let him down."[7]
