Must See for Browns Fans

Rating: 7/10 (12 April 2014)

Saw it today (4/12/14) and liked it a lot. Kevin Costner is not as good as in Bull Durham or Field of Dreams but he is believable as the Browns GM. The draft deals he makes are so confusing I'm still trying to figure them out. But he somehow gets two first round picks and sticks it to two other teams while getting who he wants. Lots of Cleveland scenes and the Browns fans depicted in a bar are a hoot. Don't know why Jennifer Garner's character was even needed and her acting didn't cut it. Her emotional expressions are limited and becoming hackneyed. This story doesn't need a romantic side story and her inclusion didn't add anything. The Browns owner (Langella) and coach (Leary) were much better supporting players and so was Ellen Burstyn as Costner's mother (although her little subplot could have been skipped). The script is tops but story editing is so-so. All Cleveland Browns fans will like this movie.
