Surprisingly funny movie with lots of heart.

Rating: 8/10 (30 July 2000)

This is a surprisingly good movie, with lots of laughs and lots of heart. The ads make this seem like a very dumb jock movie, but there is actually lots of humor, and the core of the story is about these replacement players trying to redeem themselves, gain respect, and attain personal glory. The story is of course predictable, but it's a very enjoyable ride nonetheless.
