Chicago Sun-Times
It’s not a game anymore. In 1957, these kids were playing. And it was a perfect game. - 63
Philadelphia Inquirer
A very sweet, very slight family movie that scores smiles and tears of joy. - 63
Boston Globe
Much like a Sox starter struggling for the first couple of innings before settling down, The Perfect Game takes a while to get to the parts worth cheering. - 42
Tampa Bay Times
I seriously doubt that it happened this way, with such convenient strife and truncated solutions. The movie is about baseball but plays like T-ball, with each situation teed up for easy swings. - 40
L.A. Weekly
Barely dramatizing off-the-field struggles like visa problems and the boys' first taste of good ol' American racism, the film does a disservice to the community it depicts by rendering an inspiring cultural story entirely uninspired. - 40
Chicago Reader
Well-meaning but thick with cliches. - 38
Orlando Sentinel
The characters in The Perfect Game speak old school “Hollywood Mexican.” In other words, they speak English with accents that we haven’t heard since the golden Age of Speedy Gonzalez. - 38
Chicago Tribune
The film is perfectly mediocre, which is heartbreaking, not heartwarming.
