The Replacements (2000)

The Ten Best Football Movies (11 movies items)

" #4 - The Replacements Many of you will probably roll your eyes at this movie being so high on my list. But, THE REPLACEMENTS is another example of a fun sports movie that doesn't require a lot of attention. Seeing as it is shown on TBS eighty-five times a week, it is a movie I can drop into any time and just catch a few minutes of Rhys Ifans or Jon Favreau delivering a funny scene. Plus, Gene Hackman makes everything better. I also have a lasting crush on Brooke Langton from this movie. "

An average movie

“This is a typical example of a guilty pleasure. Indeed, it is a rather stupid and predictable plot but I still thought it was rather entertaining. I have a really weak spot for Gene Hackman and without him, I would have probably not much enjoyed this movie. It is such a shame that he retired from the movie industry. A part from that, it is a basically 'Major League' with (American) football this time. You have your usual colorful characters leaded by Keanu Reeves who was not bad (if you don't expect much from Mr Reeves, he usually doesn't disappoint you). It gives also some insight on the fact that professional players are payed some ridiculous amount of money but it doesn't get really deep as it is a standard and predictable sport flick. To conclude, it is an average but rather well made” read more
