Impulse Gamer

Back of the Net is an entertaining, if unremarkable piece of pre-teen fluff enlivened by entertaining performances, moments of likable charm and a refreshing message.

Rated: 3/5

Alex Lines

Film Inquiry

It's ironic that Back of the Net features a protagonist who operates life through the application of textbook formulas, because she's stuck in a film that's chosen to do the same.

Leigh Paatsch

Herald Sun (Australia)

An unrelentingly dull and joyless movie, Back of the Net blends trace elements of athleticism, academia and adolescent romance into a confection so thin and flavour-free, it dissolves immediately on impact.

Rated: 1.5/5
