9/10
Racewalkers weaves a classic redemption story with sharp writing, layered characters, and a general sense of good will that sets it apart from anything else out there at the moment. Go to Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 4d
3.5/5
With equal parts slapstick and sincerity, Racewalkers molds a handful of sports cliches into a crowd-pleaser about perseverance and redemption that finds emotional depth by not punching down. Go to Full Review Jim Slotek Original Cin Jul 6

The dumb, heartstring-tugging, underdog sports comedy genre seldom gets its due. But there are times – and these are among them - when a movie like Racewalkers is exactly the kind of feel-good sight gag we need. Go to Full Review Emma Badame That Shelf 06/05/2025

Robert T @RTadman 2d I just saw Racewalkers, and it’s an absolute blast—funny, charming, and genuinely uplifting from start to finish. You end up really rooting for these underdogs, and by the time the final race hits, you’re grinning in your seat. If you want a feel‑good Canadian comedy that sends you out of the theatre smiling, if you want something charming, very entertaining, and different from the usual sports movies, Racewalkers is absolutely worth seeing with a crowd. See more B M @RT81385218 2d Unreal comedy. Haven’t seen a comedy where I laughed this hard in a while. Great chemistry between the two leads. Cinematography was on point. Highly recommend if you want a belly laugh. See more Read all reviews
