Reviews
"Minutemen is rife with stereotypes. There are jocks, cheerleaders, and other popular kids, as well as plenty of nerds, geeks, dorks, and other misfits—including Zeke (Nicholas Braun), a hulking social outcast from shop class who's recruited because Virgil and Charlie need someone who's good with tools.... The film's strength is the way that it lays out these stereotypes and then tweaks them...Though parts of the film are silly and predictable, Minutemen offers a fun look at what school could be."—Disney Family EntertainmentDisney Family Entertainment: Minutemen Review
"All in all, Minutemen is a pretty fun movie. The acting is good, including a fun performance by Steve McQueen's grandson as Virgil's former friend Derek. Another good DVD to add to the arsenal for summer road trips."—DVD Review—Blog Critics MagazineBlog Critics Magazine: DVD Review: Disney's Minutemen
