L.A. Weekly
The movie's antique Rockwellian look is its greatest pleasure. - 70
Chicago Reader
There's still plenty to recommend it, including memorable characters, solid storytelling, and accurate period detail. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
Everyone's Hero re-creates Depression-era America with surprisingly agreeable anachronistic panache, but a sassy ball and bat don't cut it as compelling cartoon characters, and the not-so-human humans never quite do either (Babe Ruth looks like Shrek). - 63
Chicago Tribune
Probably the last movie to carry a credit for the late Christopher Reeve--as well as the last credit for Reeve's late wife, Dana. - 63
USA Today
A sweet, inspirational movie that doesn't offer any surprises, but entertains youthful audiences in a gentle, almost old-fashioned way. - 58
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Grown-ups, depending on how in touch they are with their inner child, will be split during most of this, inspired to either smile or roll their eyes. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
A tweener but not necessarily a good one. It falls into the gap between good intentions and faulty storytelling. - 50
The New York Times
Everyone's Hero enters multiplexes already shadowed by tragedy. And while that may not be the best start for a kiddie feature, the movie's sentimental provenance could earn it a critical pass it doesn't deserve.
