"With the exception of McCoist, the players don't have a clue on the park. The acting isn't much better."
-- The Wolf, IOFILM.CO.UK

"In other words, it's just another sports drama/character study. Yet this one makes up for in heart what it lacks in outright newness. Plus, like I already mentioned...it's Robert Duvall! C'mon!"
-- Scott Weinberg, DAILY-REVIEWS

"Denis O'Neill's script avoids the prime sports cliche, a last-second goal to win the championship, but it neglects few others."
-- Lawrence Toppman, CHARLOTTE OBSERVER

"As its utterly generic title well suggests, leaves absolutely no cliche unexploited."
-- Frank Swietek, ONE GUY'S OPINION

"Despite some charm and heart, this quirky soccer import is forgettable"
-- Marty Mapes, MOVIE HABIT

"Carrying off a spot-on Scottish burr, Duvall (also a producer) peels layers from this character that may well not have existed on paper."
-- Evan Henerson, LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS

"A sports movie with action that's exciting on the field and a story you care about off it."
-- Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, THEMOVIECHICKS.COM

-- Jean Lowerison, SAN DIEGO METROPOLITAN

  "There are a couple of things that elevate "Glory" above most of its ilk, most notably the mere presence of Duvall."
-- Jon Popick, PLANET SICK-BOY

  "A solidly entertaining little film."
-- Andy Klein, NEW TIMES

  "Scotland looks wonderful, the fans are often funny fanatics, the showdown sure beats a bad day of golf."
-- David Elliott, SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE

  "Alarms for Duvall's throbbing sincerity and his elderly propensity for patting people while he talks."

"Offers a guilt-free trip into feel-good territory."
-- Philip Wuntch, DALLAS MORNING NEWS

"Not as distinctive or even as humorous as its needs to be to stand out, but it has clearly been made with affection and care."
-- Kevin Thomas, LOS ANGELES TIMES

"Pretty good little movie."
-- Richard Roeper, EBERT & ROEPER

  "The movie exists for its soccer action and its fine acting."
