Chicago Sun-Times "Glory Road" is like other sports movies, and different from all of them. It is the same in the way it shows a rookie coach with an underdog team; he finds resistance from his players at first, he imposes his system and is a merciless taskmaster, and do I have to ask if they win the big game? Roger Ebert

Reelviews Sports movies, with all the requisite clichés attached, are a dime a dozen, and no one has done them better in recent years than Disney. With every year, the roster lengthens, and now includes all of the four major sports, plus golf. The thing that distinguishes Glory Road is that, like Remember the Titans, it expands the fabric to embrace social issues. The film transpires in the mid-1960s in Texas, when skin color was crucial to a person's acceptance. James Berardinelli

USA Today An appealing Disney sports movie that underplays its potential, Glory Road is at least a more satisfying basketball saga than last year's Coach Carter. Mike Clark
