Reviews:

"It's a sports film non-sports fans can love; it's a family film that never preaches; it's a biopic that also takes in the world and people around its subject." New York Daily News Full Review

"'42' can feel incomplete (the bland music and the filmmaker's obsession with dates and places are problematic), yet at the same time it offers a very good place to start. Seattle Times Full Review

"There are many less flattering things you could say about a movie than that it's enjoyable in a square, uncomplicated, stirringly old-fashioned way." Entertainment Weekly Full Review
