This movie is inspired by (and thus LOOSELY based) on producer/actress Elisabeth Shue's life. So coming from the fact its producers are actual soccer players, I wanted to love it. I didn't love it, but I did like it.While this... Full review

As the father of a daughter, I am always looking for the kind of film that matter-of-factly informs girls that, through desire and plain hard work, you can achieve your goals. That is a common, obvious message, but ask yourself... Full review

this otherwise likable and heartfelt film wouldn't flame out and fall flat in a disastrous and mawkish conclusion.....off the rails into melodrama, but Gracie's ambition may be too much for its modest little story, and short run time, in the end.....the difference, what makes Gracie notable....So yes, Gracie , a modest, likable little soccer movie that came and went quickly....to the genesis of the film, a little more soul searching would have been nice, or at least complementary..... ...

The movie is at once treacly, heartfelt, and, in the soccer scenes at least, hard-hitting.
Introduced at a moment when her vaunted older brother Johnny (Jesse Lee Soffer) is encouraging her to perform a soccer stunt, Gracie is at once shy and spectacular.

Davis was interested in doing something on Will when he was alive-because Will had this wonderful underdog spirit-and told Andrew, `One of the underdogs in your family was your sister, and you could tell both those stories: What it's like to lose someone you love, and what it was like to be (Elisabeth) in the family. ...

Sometimes the worst movies result from the best of intentions, a notion that Gracie lives up to in spades. On the surface an earnest and unassuming, albeit somewhat hokey, sports-oriented drama, Gracie uses each of its 95 minutes to not... ... Full Article
