Leaves you longing for the full time whistle
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 22, 2003
Fails to dig below the surface novelty of its subject.

This is a terrific sports story. It is unfortunately something less than a terrific film.

This is still just a basic 'underdog sports team' movie. It's a charming one, but it's nothing special.
| Original Score: B- | Mar 1, 2002
[T]he film's rather narrow target audience may enjoy this bit of silly fluff. But many others outside that group will probably find it strained and even painful.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 22, 2002
Broad, sentimental but ultimately irresistible.

It isn't very coy, but it avoids individual stereotypes.

For all of its dubious gender archetyping (which, admittedly, does go with the prescribed cultural territory), it's hard to hate the film.

If you can tolerate its predictability, you may fall for Iron Ladies' lighthearted spirit and affectionate humor.

Not since Cool Runnings, the film about the Olympic bobsled team from Jamaica, have we had a sports movie so offbeat and upbeat as The Iron Ladies.

Fun if formulaic.

The outcome is predictable, the characters irritatingly flamboyant. But you still can't help but cheer for The Iron Ladies.

That the movie is fun is undeniable. That it is bad is inarguable.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 19, 2001
Spirited but sloppy.
Full Review | Oct 9, 2001
It is, if nothing else, 104 minutes of pure, spirited, fun-filled cinematic enjoyment.

Hammers home every cartoonish clich of recent drag comedies.

Like its spiritual cousin Big Eden, it's a puppy insistently licking your face. You will give in.
