Rating: 3/5 --
Good-hearted '80s biking movie has cursing, sex.

Common Sense Media
Rating: 2.5/4 --
American Flyers is shaky at the core, because it tries to tap-dance around its own central issues.

Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 2/5 --
The performances aren't bad, but they aren't good enough to give the film the heft it doesn't otherwise have.
New York Times
A pleasant, straight-down-the-road, cliché-ridden ride.

Time Out
Its overwelming sentimentality obscures the excitement of the race and some fine performances.

Scriptwriter Steve Tesich returns to bicycle racing, but he's forced to throw in a subplot about an incurable movie disease to make the thing work.

Rating: 71/100 --
Thankfully, Costner and Grant are able to overcome the bumpy screenplay and ride American Flyers to a satisfying, if predictable, conclusion.
