It’s practically the stuff of resistance these days for a film’s hero to learn wisdom from children about the purity and beauty of honor, and play, and radical acceptance despite winning or losing.

You can learn a little about hockey and a lot about life from The Mighty Ducks. The formula is tired but the movie's fresh and entertaining.

There are some parts that feel very 90s family entertainment but I don't really mind that because it's executed so well

A decent enough kids picture, with some laughs and the always required sports element: heart.

While nicely layered with tough, conflicting personal questions, Ducks ultimately flaps off into easy outcomes and pat contrivances. Still it's an overall charmer, and director Stephen Herek keeps it flying with a nifty mix of slapstick and action.

A pleasing and entertaining sports film, and one that can be appreciated by a wider audience thanks to its solid writing, and strong performances.

A light-hearted classic kids' sports movie.

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

Harmless enough, but its schematic retread of a screenplay and its lethargic acting detracts from the unassuming, passable entertainment it might have been.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 9, 2009

Very lame ice-hockey flick.

The film is remarkably oblivious to the fact that if the team weren't hell-bent on a championship, young moviegoers would be significantly less interested in its adventures.

I chose to work as a cashier at a gas station over being an extra in this. I chose wisely.
