The Replacements
Added 10/14/2009
This is a great 'feel-good' movie. It's got something in it for both guys and girls: football, bar fight, personal problems, internal struggles, and romance.
My wife and I both love this movie and watch it whenever we want to watch something light and fun; with, of course, a guy-gets-girl happy ending.

Hilarious

This is one of my go-to funny movies. If you love funny sports movies, it's a must-see. I'm not a huge Keanu Reeves fan, but this role suits him. Gene Hackman is awesome, as usual. There are many laugh-out-loud scenes. If you've never seen it, and it suits your taste, it will be one of your favorites for sure.

Although the story may be a threepeat (pun intended) this movie is for anyone who loves football, loves rootin for the underdog and hates that Professional Sports have been Shanghaied by Egotistical `fullovthemselves' who only think about the money. Hackman is great as Coach McGinty and Reeves is quite believable as the unsure of himself "never was" Shane Falco. Whether due to the writing or the director we're presented with a bunch of guys who had a shot at the brass ring, missed their chance and have just one more shot for a little bit of glory. They start out disliking or not knowing each other and eventually `gel' as a team. The fight in the bar is hysterical and the dance number in the jail afterwards is a must see, not to mention Shane Falco's parking problems. There are a lot of standouts in this film: Orlando Jones, Jon Favreau, Faizon Love, Evan Parke as the preacher, Rhys Ifans as the "Wirary" Welshman and the egg vomiting Sumo Ace Yonamine (you gotta love this huddle scene). There are quite a few others, just too many great moments to mention them all.
Even the ladies will enjoy this with the chemistry between Reeves and Langdon (a definite hottie). Starting out with stolen glances, then hitching rides, and eventually Shane and Abigail start heading to something called love, the culmination of which is just as enjoyable for the guys as Pat Summerall and John Madden do the play by play! Don't miss the cheerleader tryouts! Smear their blood all over town!

The Dance in the jail is cute
Added 4/9/2009
My husband mainly wanted this one. He enjoyed the story line and I enjoyed the cheerleading tryouts part and the jail dance part. Another good comedy.

Love this movie and couldn't wait to watch it. Too bad shipping took 3days longer than it was supposed to. Pretty frustrating.
