A Film About Morons

Rating: 1/10 (25 August 2010)

A film about morons - that's all there is to say. Every single character is stupid and self absorbed. There was not one person in that city who knew or cared about anything else except American football. That's stupidity at its best: "I'm stupid and proud of it." I have not found a single character to care about in this film. I felt a little sorry for the kids but those kids would grow up to be just like the adults in that town: stupid and proud of it. I would also like to say that some of the 'headlines' I saw or heard in this film are amazingly moronic and some actually dangerous: "Whatever it takes" "There's too much learning in school" - bad grammar too. "I've got straight A's... because football is everything" And the constant 'melody' of the film: "This is the only year of your life that matters". Really?!!! Why don't they just kill themselves after high school then?! I admit that I don't like American football at all. But I always enjoyed sports films and it never mattered what sport. There have been plenty of movies about American football that I enjoyed... for entertainment value, not for the sport. This is the first film about sports that I ever considered just taking the DVD out of the player and throw it away after 30 minutes. If you are an American who likes to have beer hanging out of his cap then you will definitely enjoy this movie. If you speak moronic you will also enjoy this film. If not stay away from it!!! 1/10
