Bar none the worst movie of all time history

Rating: 1/10 (10 June 2001)

Dear sweet lord, i didn't think a movie could be so devoid of anything reedeeming. Between the horrible acting performance turned in by Keanu "Whoa" Reeves and the blandest, most predictable plot line ever, the Replacements does not entertain for a single solitary second. It is unbelievable that with such a rehashed, recycled plot, that the writer/director could still manages to leave so many flaws in the film. Rule # 1 if you are going to write a film about football, at least know some rules, at one point in this abomination of a film the Washington Sentinels need to retrieve an onside kick to stay alive, of course they in fact do this and they advance the ball forward: NFL rule the kicking team can not advance the ball if they recover it on an onside kick. Directly after this Shane Falco, yes the quarterback is on the field on an onside kick, tackles his own man and then calls a timeout: NFL rule the clock stop after the return man is tackled. These are just a few mistakes to harp on, but i wanted to point out that the basis for this film is football at least the director could know the rules. The football flaws pale in comparison to the atroscious characters in this film. Every single characater in the entire movie is a stereotype, example Orlando Jones character is the incredibly fast guy with no hands, ala Little Giants, there's the drunkard, smoking, welsh kicker who is scrawny but still a badass, there are of course some of the gansta african americans, a sumo wrestler!, the religious nice guy who only wants to catch one touchdown, and low and behold he catches it and shatter his knee on the play, it brings a tear to my eye. I gurantee if this idea was given to a drunk, semi retarded monkey he could of in fact produced a far more original, believable, and entertaining film than the nimrods who came up with this horrendous "comedy". The only thing slightly comedic in this whole film was the fact that an esteemed actor like Gene Hackman would agree to taked this role. 0/10 the worst movie ever. If you like football don't see it, if you like Keanu Reeves don't see it, If you like sports drama don't see it, if you like comedies don't see it, if you like movies in general don't see it, if you like performing mystery science theatre over a pile of crap film, by all means see it.
