Critic Reviews

Michael Esposito

The result is a feeling of quiet heroism--people doing things because it's right to do them, even if it's not easy. Read full review

Roger Ebert

What is it about Indiana that inspires movies about small-town dreamers who come from behind to win? Read full review

William Arnold

While Madison is earnest and inoffensive, it offers no surprises, few fascinating characters and a hackneyed script. Read full review

J.R. Jones

Tends toward the generic, and Jim Caviezel is hopelessly bland in the lead. Among the bright spots are Mary McCormack as the hero's wife and Bruce Dern as the wise old motorboat guru. Read full review

Anita Gates

Wants to be both heartwarming and quirky but is sometimes just cutesy instead. Read full review

Michael Rechtshaffen

The drama gets stuck in a dispiritingly dull rut and fails to build toward what is supposed to be a something of a crowd-rousing triumph over adversity. Read full review

Jack Mathews

There isn't a scene, an action or a character that rings true, yet the narrative summary of the events that inspired it is a matter of record. Read full review
