One of 2006's greatest cinematic tragedies.

| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 26, 2020

"Marshall" is such an emotionally charged subject matter that the film works -- even if it doesn't always click.

| Nov 20, 2019

McConaughey campily channels Jon Stewart channeling George W. Bush for his impersonation of Lengyel.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Feb 28, 2008

...would've benefited from the presence of virtually any other actor in the central role...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 20, 2007

We Are Marshall is not a bad movie; it is a potentially nice, familiar movie unfortunately marred by the unspeakably awful performance of Matthew McConaughey.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 28, 2007

A sentimental, simplistically inspiring movie that leans heavily on Matthew McConaughey's substantial energy and charisma for its success.

Full Review | Original Score: 73/100 | Sep 17, 2007

Despite its best intentions, there is much in We Are Marshall that holds it back from being the best it can be.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 8, 2007

What allows We Are Marshall to stand above many of the other 2006 sports movies is both the undeniable power of the story itself and the strong ensemble McG gathered to tell it.

We Are Marshall is the kind of movie that not only believes in the goodness of humankind, but makes you believe it, too.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 21, 2007

That McG makes it vital and energetic, and not morose or preachy, shows a director on top of his game.

| Original Score: 2/6 | Feb 3, 2007

'We Are Marshall' is both better than it has a right to be and still feels somewhat disappointing.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 18, 2007

As exciting and well staged as the on-field action is (finally, a football movie gives the field goal kicker the respect he's due!), I was more taken by what was happening off the field.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 18, 2007

... A heartfelt tribute to those who died and those who lived.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 16, 2007

We are not impressed.

| Original Score: D | Jan 8, 2007

You'd think with this set up that Annie's experience would be complex and sustained in We Are Marshall, but no. This is a men's story.

...sincere performances help to put over some of the inspirational cliches...
