The Bad Review Revue
Overcomer: “There’s about half a movie in ‘Overcomer.’ The other half or so is a pretty half-hearted sermon. Neither half is particularly worthwhile, and the whole is cheap, cheesy, and, to put it charitably, churchy.” — Mark Dujsik, rogerebert.com Charming: “Kids probably won’t pick up on the forced, pro-feminist theme here, but the film unspools […]
