The Mighty Macs

Sweetly old-fashioned … nice and well-intentioned, but on the other hand the Macs deserve better than a nice, well-intentioned movie.

Sometimes a film feels a bit too pat and yet is impossible to resist.

Without resorting to any trick plays, "The Mighty Macs" is the equivalent of high-top Converse All-Stars: timeless and effective, but perhaps not flashy enough for the kids at the mall.

It's a story that inspires with pleasing and winning performances from the entire cast of this family-oriented, feel good film.
