It's a story that inspires with pleasing and winning performances from the entire cast of this family-oriented, feel good film.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 16, 2020

The Mighty Macs - a feel good film for families, females, and sports fans alike...even if you're not from Philadelphia.

| Nov 26, 2019

There's a nice inspirational message for young girls in this movie, and boy does this movie hit it hard.

| Original Score: C- | Jun 22, 2013

...a well-intentioned and consistently earnest endeavor that is, unfortunately, completely underwhelming almost from start to finish...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 22, 2012

If you're a sucker for underdog stories and love rooting for a ragtag bunch that takes the nation by surprise, you'll find that "The Mighty Macs" delivers the same emotional payoff as "Hoosiers."

| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 8, 2012

A by-the-numbers underdog sports movie, but as a female athlete who benefited from the national attention that team brought to female athletes, I embrace this feel-good story.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 10, 2011

Its a story that is amazing but true, but a little depth in the character's stories would have added a lot to the overall enjoyment.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 25, 2011

It's a shame that a movie that should have been a slam dunk feels more like a missed shot from the free throw line.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 24, 2011

This distaff basketball tale dribbles away any chance for excitement through a mountainous accumulation of blinding clichs.

| Oct 24, 2011

Good, clean entertainment for the whole family, snapping spare parts from hundreds of sports pictures together, fashioning a slight, but genial feature that should appeal to viewers hungry for lighter fare that isn't animated.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 24, 2011

Feminism, b-ball, and nuns. Hail Mary, full-court press.

Full Review | Oct 22, 2011

The filmmakers may as well have taken the screenplay of Hoosiers and just made a few edits, changing the decade from the '50s to the '70s and the male characters into women.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 21, 2011

has a gentle sweetness that is never cloying, never condescending. Instead there is an exuberance that is heart-warming -- the point of the exercise

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 21, 2011

'The Mighty Macs' might not be the champion of sports dramas, but it's entertaining and easy to watch. (Movie Review for Parents also available)

| Oct 21, 2011

Sweetly old-fashioned … nice and well-intentioned, but on the other hand the Macs deserve better than a nice, well-intentioned movie.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 21, 2011

It's Hoosiers in high heels with a splash of holy water. It's hard not to get sucked into the underdog story

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 21, 2011

Sometimes a film feels a bit too pat and yet is impossible to resist.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 21, 2011

Without resorting to any trick plays, "The Mighty Macs" is the equivalent of high-top Converse All-Stars: timeless and effective, but perhaps not flashy enough for the kids at the mall.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 21, 2011

The blandly inspirational sports flick "The Mighty Macs" is warm- spirited but all too obvious, even as the charms of its lead performer Carla Gugino help sell this familiar story.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 21, 2011

There's something refreshingly unpushy about the movie and its beliefs, and Gugino seems to be sauntering through on her way to a different, spikier movie, the kind that is her stock in trade.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 21, 2011
