Metacritic reviews

Does offer solid laughs, engaging performances and a captivating setting.

Could metamorphose into an entertaining sitcom.

Disney seems intent upon overdosing audiences with the little guy proving himself against a seemingly superior force.

The enterprise might also be called ''Picket Fences on Ice."

Some terrific characters and some of the year's punchiest comic dialogue.

Nothing's wrong with this movie--the hockey footage is exciting, the characters quirky, the subplots idiosyncratic--but nothing's special about it either.

Yet another Hollywood serving of everyman pluck, sports division.

Has the potential to be much more than it is, especially with the collection of able actors on hand.

Thoroughly mediocre.

The bottom line with the film is that there's just no damn mystery about it.
