DUELING CRITICS

"A slick enterprise buoyed by a Motown-flavored '60s soundtrack and an appealing ensemble cast...Meticulously appointed to capture the look and feel of the '60s"

- Brian Lowry

"The air of deja vu is thick as molasses...Hollywood has made this same movie a hundred times since Hoosiers created the mold in 1986, and there's just not enough variation in the formula here to make it worth the doing"

- William Arnold
