The Senior Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
It's basically a soft-hearted paint-by-numbers TV-movie, stocked with homilies about the game of football vs. the game of life. Yet it's an effective soft-hearted paint-by-numbers TV-movie.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Pete Hammond
There is no shortage of the cliches familiar to the genre, but in this engaging and winning tale they all seem just fine. Why not? It's real.
HollywoodChicago.com
Patrick McDonald
Works because it strove for authenticity, and Michael Chiklis delivers the soul as the title character. There are six ways to football Sunday to screw up a film like this, but very few ways to make it work, and the production found that way. Daddy issues!
Sunshine State Cineplex
Alan French
There's not much here to critique besides its one idea: to always persevere. Sadly, that's not enough to make an enduring movie.
FandomWire
M.N. Miller
The Senior is elevated by Michael Chiklis's heartfelt, everyman performance. Imperfect but inspirational and entertaining.
MovieWeb
Julian Roman
The Senior tells Mike Flynt's remarkable true story of overcoming significant personal failings and childhood trauma to become a man of devout Christian faith. His football journey reminds us that positive change is possible at any age.
Film Threat
Alan Ng
The Senior rests squarely on the shoulders of Michael Chiklis as Mike. The role is both physically and emotionally challenging, and Chiklis is up for the task.
Rachel's Reviews (YouTube)
Rachel Wagner
A nice movie that will make you feel good
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
No surprises here, but nobody really wants surprises in a fact-based underdog comeback story. What we want is stakes, a flawed but sympathetic hero, and maybe a bit of wish fulfillment for anyone who'd like a do-over. On those, it crosses the goal line.
New York Times
Brandon Yu
You can simply surrender yourself to the bland moral lessons of the movie, but even then, it's hard not to feel like this was best left as a quirky human interest segment on a slow news day.
Splice Today
Stephen Silver
It's hokum, but at least inoffensive hokum- essentially the same movie as Rudy, only if Rudy had been a nearly 60-year-old man.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Some opening narration in The Senior states that this story isn't actually about football, and screenwriter Robert Eisele wisely keeps that promise.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
Offers a truly inspirational story that any male of a certain age - football fan or not - should appreciate.
Movies Thru the Spectrum
Al Alexander
Where "The Senior" earns its bona fides is with Chiklis's ability to make us feel vested in Mike's quest to banish the demons that have plagued him for far too long.
Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
Charles Koplinski
Competently rendered but containing nary a surprise, "The Senior" is the sort of family fare taken in on a weekend afternoon, one that will be generate positive feelings around the dinner table and a bit of inspiration for all.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
A family-friendly inspirational sports drama that holds wide appeal, regardless of whether or not you're looking for faith content.
The Film Yap
Christopher Lloyd
Pure cornball... and pure heart. This true story of a grandpa who returned to play college football is an old-fashioned sports flick with a touch of that old time religion.
Awards Radar
Joey Magidson
The Senior is a throwback inspirational true life sports tale from Rod Lurie.
AMFM Magazine
Paul Salfen
Michael Chiklis is perfect casting as an almost dead ringer for Mike Flynt and really sells the part in an already unbelievable story. It's the beginning of football season and a great way to kickoff the weekend with the whole family.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The familiar beats are hammered so skillfully you don't mind the manipulation. And although you may be shocked, shocked, to learn that the film takes some liberties with the truth, they're not so egregious as to diminish its overall impact.
