Critics Consensus

Maudlin, predictable, and clichéd, Legendary pins its talented cast under a heavy layer of formulaic schmaltz.

Stephen Holden

New York Times

Follows a straight narrative line to its cliched ending without a deviation from formula.

Rated: 2.5/5

Exactly what you might expect, right down to the montage of blindfolded tussling, jogging and high-fives to the tune of unrelenting inspirational music.

Rated: 2/4

It may not live up to that grandiose title, but this rousingly sweet little flick is certainly nothing to go out of your way to avoid.

Rated: 3/4

I thought it was a pretty good movie until the end which was rather schmaltsy. It was pretty obvious that the director nor Danny Glover knew anything about fishing. Danny held the rod and reel upside down. And Crappie are not bait fish. Crappie are pan frying fish.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
