Everybody's All-American Ratings & Reviews
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
As the one character who grows and doesn't just calcify, Lange brings wily zest to each step in Babs' coming-out party.
Chicago Tribune
Dave Kehr
The characters are simply postulated, given whole, from the start; there`s no depth or development in the performances; and each scene exists only to make a single plot point.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Desmond Ryan
Apart from a performance of mesmerizing authority and conviction from Quaid in an arena usually littered with more cliches... Hackford's movie has the courage to start where most films about our national passion for sport leave off.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
Lange, handicapped by a much too broad choice of Southern accents, does not disappear as easily into her character. She seems to be playing someone beneath her.
Philadelphia Daily News
Barbara Beck
Backed by flawless acting from an ensemble cast, Hackford gives us a suave and artful portrait of Quaid as Gavin Grey.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Jessica Lange is right at home as the sturdy woman of the tale; Dennis Quaid is remarkably convincing as the character he plays gets older... and Timothy Hutton brings quiet skill to his third-banana role. But most impressive of all is Carl Lumbly.
People Magazine
Peter Travers
By the end of this turgid mess, these talented, trapped actors look ready to run for their lives -- at last a sentiment the audience can share.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Candice Russell
Movies don`t come more superficial than Everybody`s All-American.
Los Angeles Times
Sheila Benson
It's not exactly nourishing, but then again, its performances are so addictive that you may not even care.
TV Guide
A little forced, a lot sincere, and not overly manipulative, Everybody's All-American won't change your life, but it may bring a tear to your eye.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Sprawling across a quarter of a century, Everybody's All-American is an unkempt epic about the life and times of a Louisiana athlete.
United Press International
Cathy Burke
Everybody's All-American only looks and sounds great, making the most of the music and fashions from 1957 to 1987. Its soul is paper-thin.
Variety
Variety Staff
Everybody's All-American has its moments, and remains watchable due to its two attractive leads, but is too predictable and not nearly incisive enough.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Bards from A. E. Housman to Bruce Springsteen have mourned the passing of the athlete's glory, but it's a subject that never goes out of style. And it has been brought vibrantly to life in Taylor Hackford's 'Everybody's All-American.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
By the end of the film, we not only feel we know these people -- we feel we know them too well and would like to make some new friends.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
Corny, overblown, dopey and yet somehow entertaining, the screenplay sounds as if it were cowritten by Dick Butkus and Jackie Collins.
