Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
Forgotten by most yet seemingly adored by those who choose to remember it, The Best of Times stands in my book as one of the truly great sports comedies.

... what it really resembles, more than anything, is a teen comedy populated by adults.

Rating: 2/5 --
Nostalgic fantasy about replaying that high school game with all the jock pals.

Rating: 2/5 --
Such a rouser that it almost makes up for the incomplete passes and stopped runs that precede it.

New York Times
...THE BEST OF TIMES cannily plays it both ways: giving us a lip-smacking tale of all-American wish-fulfillment and a witty satire of its dangers...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 2/5 --
Speaks to our fantasies of rectifying mistakes of the past but drops the ball on a satire on small town foibles and marital discord.
