May 13, 2012One of the best football films I have seen and with a brilliant cast of up coming stars. Its actually pretty funny in many places, lots of your typical raunchy humour, childish slapstick and bigotry which was the staple diet of a cheap 80's teen flick haha Goldie adds a sexy touc... read more

September 6, 2008A good coming of age comedy as Goldie Hawn gets to coach a football team. A lot like Coach Carter and it has a genuine feel good feel to it.
-
June 2, 2007Very early roles for future buddy partners Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes in a Goldie Hawn vehicle about a high school football team. The script obviously just spewed forth upon the utterance of those 9 words, but it could have been a lot worse.

October 23, 2006Goldie Hawn is fantastic as the first female coach of high school football. She scores a touchdown!

May 29, 2010Kind of a strange movie, mostly a formulaic sports movie but it had a parental custody sideplot that I immediately dreaded upon the first hints of it.

December 26, 2009Routine Goldie Hawn comedy, predictable with some laughs but not enough of them. Fair supporting cast, Swoozie Kurtz comes off best. Likable film, but forgettable.

All too predictably, Molly rises to this challenge. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Wildcats is about how spunky Hawn is and how cute it's supposed to be that this little woman can make all those great big football players do what she says. Full Review

Instead of 'believe in yourself', the message becomes simply 'make believe'. Full Review

Goldie coaches the high school football team. Jock strap humor.

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
Turns out to be a bore with its locker-room language, its predictable celebration of the underdogs, and its thoroughly tedious subplot about the coach's custody battle.

Goldie fumbles.

Frank Ochieng, TheWorldJournal.com
A flaccid football yarn that certainly gains no comedic yardage with the frazzled Goldie Hawn in the starring role.

Second best football flick ever made.
