ReelViews
We Are Marshall is precisely what one expects from a true sports story: it's uplifting and inspiring. - 75
Chicago Tribune
Surprisingly restrained and undeniably entertaining. - 70
Los Angeles Times
The film is injected with a refreshing energy whenever McConaughey is on-screen, balancing some of the inherent sadness of the story. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
What should have been an inspirational story about fortitude and courage in the face of mind-numbing tragedy becomes a compendium of sports cliches. - 60
Variety
Full of good intentions, We Are Marshall has a game plan that's hard to fault, but as with any playbook, a scheme is only as good as how well it's executed. - 60
L.A. Weekly
McG's Marshall lies at the nexus of Thornton Wilder and Norman Rockwell -- it's David Lynch without the irony -- and if he overdoes things a touch, there’s nothing disingenuous about it. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
We Are Marshall has little of the bone-crunchingsincerity of the recent pigskin rouser "Invincible." This one is more like Unconvincing. - 58
Christian Science Monitor
It's a powerful subject, but director McG and screenwriter Jamie Linden haul out every cliché in the playbook.
