Saint Ralph Ratings & Reviews
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
Canadian writer-director Michael McGowan has packed it so full of earnestness that viewers end up jogging along.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Funny, touching and uplifting.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
It's worth seeking out this bittersweet comedy with its emotionally resonant story and stellar performances.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Even when it's pushing the limits of shameless manipulation, this cheeky Canadian film has charm and wit.
Houston Chronicle
Michael Hardy
It's hard to dislike schmaltz as mild as Saint Ralph, but let's try: The film is as bland as a communion wafer, sentimental as a Christmas homily, and predictable as the liturgy.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
What began as a too familiar coming-of-age story set in an all-boys Catholic school steadily morphs into something arguably as familiar but more satisfying -- a triumphant sports tale.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Writer-director Michael McGowan must be exhausted after all the tugging he does on our heartstrings in this sentimental drama.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Writer-director Michael McGowan proves there's a reason people keep making underdog sports movies.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
As predictably uplifting movies go, Saint Ralph isn't completely charmless.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
An amiable sentimental fantasy, joining running, religion and a boy with a whole lot of problems into an earnest production that entertains even as it milks some of its situations for all they're worth.
Dallas Morning News
Nancy Churnin
Touches the heart in unexpected ways.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
This crude, inspirational tear-jerker is as sweet as a bowl of instant oatmeal smothered in molasses.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
Written with the glee of a scheming Catholic schoolboy, but its geniality outstrips its plausibility.
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
A tart and tender comedy that pulls off a little miracle of its own by being genuinely heartwarming without leaving any cloyingly sticky emotional residue.
Variety
Joe Leydon
McGowan employs well-apportioned measures of droll humor and emotional urgency while spinning the story of Ralph Walker.
Newsday
John Anderson
A charmer with heart.
Observer
Rex Reed
[The] film never runs out of surprises.
Entertainment Weekly
Gregory Kirschling
It's as if Max Fischer from Rushmore turned, mid-movie, into Billy Elliot.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Saint Ralph is content paying lip service to Catholicism, choosing instead to pander to fans of anyone who got off during Children of Heaven and Millions.
