Saint Ralph movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: You can't argue with the message. But its well-worn homilies might give you reason to question the messenger. Read more
John Hartl, Seattle Times: Even when it's pushing the limits of shameless manipulation, this cheeky Canadian film has charm and wit. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: Funny, touching and uplifting. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: Written with the glee of a scheming Catholic schoolboy, but its geniality outstrips its plausibility. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: As predictably uplifting movies go, Saint Ralph isn't completely charmless. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: 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. Read more
Michael Hardy, Houston Chronicle: 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. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: 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. Read more
Gregory Kirschling, Entertainment Weekly: It's as if Max Fischer from Rushmore turned, mid-movie, into Billy Elliot. Read more
Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News: Touches the heart in unexpected ways. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: Michael McGowan's direction is as flat as an asphalt road, and his script is gasping for air long before it enters the final stretch. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: Your interest is bound to fade long before Ralph does. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: Writer-director Michael McGowan must be exhausted after all the tugging he does on our heartstrings in this sentimental drama. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: This crude, inspirational tear-jerker is as sweet as a bowl of instant oatmeal smothered in molasses. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Canadian writer-director Michael McGowan has packed it so full of earnestness that viewers end up jogging along. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Unrepentant hokum. Read more
Susan Walker, Toronto Star: Thanks to the charm brought to the role of Ralph by young Adam Butcher, and strong performances from Campbell Scott, Gordon Pinsent, Jennifer Tilly and Shauna MacDonald, credibility is achieved. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: It's worth seeking out this bittersweet comedy with its emotionally resonant story and stellar performances. Read more
Joe Leydon, Variety: McGowan employs well-apportioned measures of droll humor and emotional urgency while spinning the story of Ralph Walker. Read more
Ed Park, Village Voice: Ralph Walker is no Max Fischer, and his monomania gets dull fast. Read more
