Critic Reviews

Maybe it's all true. But one is always a little discomfited when life, or a movie, imitates weary melodramatic patterns this slavishly.

-Richard SchickelFull Review

The leads, Denzel Washington and particularly Will Patton, are so good they occasionally make you forget the material is shameless.

-Full Review

The result is the sort of deeply massaged truth that isn't stranger than fiction -- it's worse than fiction.

-Rick GroenFull Review

When the hard battle for integration is served up as a feel-good package, we've all been bamboozled.

-Peter Travers

Sturdy, gripping and well-balanced if somewhat artificial.

-Susan StarkFull Review

If viewed as a crowd-pleasing, feel-good sports movie, the film is an unqualified success.

-James BerardinelliFull Review

Soft-edged and sweet.

-Rene Rodriguez

A totally absorbing movie.

-Michael Wilmington

Aside from its message-waving, pic dedicates itself to entertaining the audience via its military-style whip-'em-into-shape training antics, the sort of thing that always goes down very easily.

-Todd McCarthyFull Review

The story is based on real incidents, but the uplifting tone is laid on so thick that it's difficult to believe a minute of it.

-Peter RainerFull Review

Titans may prove that Bruckheimer has a social conscience, but it can't hide his penchant for pandering.

-Lawrence Terenzi

Remember the Titans is similarly solid; its satisfactions are time-tested, a little worn but nonetheless durable.

-A.O. ScottFull Review

It's slick Hollywood product, all right, but it also may be the most moving and entertaining movie so far this year.

-Eric HarrisonFull Review

Boorish and flatulent.

-Dennis LimFull Review

Washington and the others score in this predictable but rousing film where the big victory is over attitudes.

-Jay Carr

I didn't believe the movie, or my tears, for a second.

-Peter Brunette

Unabashedly old-fashioned.

-Joe BaltakeFull Review

A pity that the script is so paint-by-numbers.

-Paul TataraFull Review

Denzel Washington should have held out for a better script before he signed on to star in Remember the Titans.

-Owen GleibermanFull Review

Emotionally affecting tale.

-Steven Rea

Insufferable.

-Glenn Lovell

Director Yakin pulls all the right strings.

-Terry Lawson

I admired the way the screenplay, by Gregory Allen Howard, doesn't make Boone noble and Yoast a racist, but shows them both as ambitious and skilled professionals.

-Roger EbertFull Review

Toss it in the bin along with The Replacements, but give it bonus points, at least, for having a social conscience.

-Michael O'SullivanFull Review

A crowd-pleaser with a moral conscience.

-Eleanor Ringel GillespieFull Review

Startlingly resonant yet unabashedly entertaining.

-Tom Keogh

The entire cast is excellent.

-John Zebrowski

[Bruckheimer's] latest production is, in some ways, a departure. Not only is it based on a true story, it is also actually about something.

-Jay Boyar

Engagingly cast, with a lively soundtrack and glossy cinematography.
