C
"The guy who gifted the world Nookie is making movies these days, and much like the music he created with band Limp Bizkit, Durst's cinematic sensibilities are hackneyed, tiresome, and lack sorely needed rehearsal."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

D+
"Directed by Fred Durst (of the band "Limp Bizkit"), "The Longshots" is a cookie-cutter feel-good kid's movie that seems like it was made by some faulty gadget stuck on auto-pilot."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

1.5/4
"A feel-good family sports drama more likely to make the viewer feel sick from sugar overload."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

2/4
"A Disney wannabe, Fred Durst's girl power sports flick is ho hum and very forgettable..."  Cinema Crazed  Felix Vasquez Jr.

4/10
"While those who likely broadly played, predictable sports dramedies might enjoy this pic that's based on a true story (and features a good performance by Palmer), I'd suggest you punt and find a better alternative."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

B+
"Cube gives a layered, subtle portrayal and it is a pleasure to watch Curtis bloom along with Jasmine."  Beliefnet  Nell Minow

2.5/4
"Cube opts for dramatically earnest pathos rather than simply seriocomic shtick."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

3/5
"plummets from sentimental to sappy"  Filmcritic.com  Sean O'Connell
