NFL fans will hate this movie. So Unrealistic

Rating: 2/10 (2 May 2014)

Where do I start with this movie? First of all the NFL Draft is becoming a national prime time event full of last minute trades and enough real drama, how could you not find realistic material there right? Nope, not Hollywood. Instead they come up with this outlandish story of a GM under pressure from the owner to make a splash in the draft. And just for good Hollywood measure they throw in these cliché'd personal issues to the GM: girlfriend is pregnant, living in the shadow of his famous father, etc. etc. You know the LIFETIME movie treatment. Well I could stand that if they just showed the drama of the NFL draft...but nooooo Instead they have him make a deal that NO, and I mean NO one in their right mind would make who knew anything about Criquet, not to mention the NFL. So the rest of the movie he deals with the cardboard cutout coaches and NFL front office people that are such parodies, MAD Magazine wouldn't use them as they are too ridiculous. And how do they get him out of this hole? Well they drop the IQ of all the characters he deals with so he can outwit them into making even more ridiculous trades than he did to get himself into this mess. THAT"s IT, no clever twist, nothing like that, just all of a sudden everyone else gets real dumb~! Then he becomes the hero. And oh yeah lets all of the sudden stuff in a bunch of cameos of Brown's alumni for no real reason. If I was a Brown's fan (TG I"m not) I'd find this movie just another reason to be embarrassed about my team. The only thing this film got semi-right is the portrayal of the potential draftees and even then the interaction the main character was having with them prior to contracts and such would probably be against NFL rules...but Ill let that slide. Its been a long time since a movie disappointed me this much, because I know there is a wealth of material that could have made it great. I know Kevin C's career is waning, but he should have passed on this dog.
In closing just to show you how wrong this movie got it, they have the Seattle Seahawks with the 1st overall pick, which as anyone knows goes to the team with the worst record in the league, and of course the Seahawks won the Super Bowl this year. LOL
