Critics Consensus

Enthusiastically unpleasant and mostly unfunny, The Bronze fails to stick the landing -- or much else along the way.

The Bronze is an uninspired creation that feels like Tina Fey's Sarah Palin impression in a 'Little Britain' sketch.

A crude yet cuddly comedy written by a star of "The Big Bang Theory."

Rated: 2.5/4

There are some decent laughs here (especially for a well choreographed sex scene) and even an amusing soundtrack, but there's just not enough story to go around.

Rated: 3/5

…don’t let the sports-movie clichés fool you; The Bronze isn’t exactly feel-good fare…

The Bronze earns its title spot - nothing more but certainly nothing less. A spot on the podium is a spot on the podium.

Rated: 7/10

The Bronze, and its anti-hero you love to hate, brings home the gold!

The Bronze is a misunderstood gem. Riding some Napoleon Dynamite vibes, Rauch is a real charmer. Yes, the character is obnoxiously abrasive at first -- maybe somewhat over the top -- but her various hard edges gradually soften, as the other characters work their own subtle magic on her. Great cast. Enjoyable movie. Sad it got so much hate and derision.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This movie is halarious. You'll laugh and be shocked and feel hopeful. Don't trust rotten tomatoes, this movie is great.

The hero was so mean that I was ready to turn it off. However, was good watching how a small town girl learns what's really important. Note, it is not a being a medal winner.

O filme se torna totalmente tóxico e até justificável muitas das atitudes bizarras dos atletas, apesar de ser uma comédia, se torna atemporal diante da polêmica de Simone Bailes nas Olimpíadas recentes, a importância e necessidade de manter saúde mental limpa e em dia… O filme é divertido, um certo elogio na protagonista egocêntrica, loira-burra (detesto esse conceito), mimada e presa ao passado em que era uma heroína nacional, entretanto as tiras são divertidas, entretém, e nos conscientiza...

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
