'Peaceful Warrior' never clears Olympian cliché hurdles

Movies have been adapted from everything from great works of literature to graphic novels, so why not a New Age self-help book? Maybe there are worthy films buried in collections of spiritual homilies, but Peaceful Warrior is not one of them. Read the full review

TO SUM UP
Arrogant, talented Dan Millman seems to have a shot at the Olympic qualifiers in men's gymnastics. Still, he wakes up almost nightly from terrifying nightmares and odd visions he can't explain or dismiss. But when he discovers a wise mentor, Dan will consider a new ideology — one that values consciousness over intelligence, strength in spirit over strength in body.

The Palm Beach Post: C-
"Maybe Peaceful Warrior will sell a few more books for Millman, but it seems unlikely to sell many movie tickets."
