Reviews

The Virginian-Pilot

Mal Vincent

Once you get through all the cliches of the calm waters, there is a 20-minute movie somewhere within the two-hour running time.

Bridges does his best to command the emotional resonance we assume motivated Sheldon, but scant characterization marks him merely as a cipher for brawny, brain-washed ideations of what masculinity's supposed to look like.

Dennis Schwartz

Though lavishly produced and based on a true story, it still fails to satisfy.

Variety

Brian Lowry

The filmmakers take a rather facile, anachronistic "Oprah"-esque approach toward the boys' feelings about their families and the Skipper's role as a "tough love"-minded surrogate father.
