 "...too many of the athletes speak in clichés and seem a bit over-caffeinated.... Emile Hirsch offers a narrative that's only slightly less zealous than a ShamWow infomercial." |

 "...a remedial Doors class, taught by a professor who sounds as if he's doing voiceovers for car commercials.... awkward, but not a complete waste." |
