A bland feel-good flick with a positive message.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2011

Sweet and good-natured, but ultimately it's as unremarkable as its animation.

| Original Score: C+ | May 10, 2007

| Original Score: D | Apr 25, 2007

Old-fashioned, sweet, but ultimately disposable family fare with echoes of better films from Toy Story to The Iron Giant.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 27, 2006

misguided and poorly executed

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 30, 2006

Young boys may be enchanted by the inspirational adventure, but for anyone over the age of nine, Yankee's journey is ultimately a dull one paved with good intentions.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 30, 2006

The setup of this computer-animated feature is strained, the story is contrived, and the ending is downright silly.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 27, 2006

It's a shallow, treacly movie for children too little to question its many pointless puerilities.

The opportunity to talk to the kids who see this little film about the Reeves' story -- a real-life triumph of inspiration over tragedy -- is perhaps the best tribute to the couple this film provides.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 23, 2006

While this might sound amusing, animated inanimate objects can only do so much bouncing and rolling before their shtick gets stale.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 23, 2006

I suspect that most kids will get more excitement and thrills out of even the most meaningless end-of-season regulation ball game than they will with this film.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 23, 2006

Way out of the league of any of the Disney/Pixar or Dreamworks animated films.

| Original Score: C | Sep 22, 2006

It's difficult to find out just how much work Reeve did on the picture before his death two years ago, but the credit is a curious button on a very strange CG animated film.

| Original Score: C | Sep 20, 2006

A very unappealing animated feature about Babe Ruth, baseball, and family values.

There is absolutely nothing hip or cool about Everyone's Hero, but it's so sweet, and so pleasant, and so nice that I found it impossible to dislike.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 18, 2006

A sweet but very forgettable animated adventure.

Full Review | Sep 18, 2006

Maybe I don't know what kids today like, but I have sympathy for the parents. This movie is so stupid. If I were four, I'd much rather just watch Baby Einstein on a continuous loop. At least it looks pretty.

I left the theatre wishing I could return to the days when I was a lot more like Yankee Irving than I'd care to admit.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 17, 2006

The movie is a feast of miscalculations.

| Sep 15, 2006

... a modestly engaging mix of broad comedy and nostalgic fable, spiked with a few unwelcome sprinklings of gross-out gags.
