Between February and Sept.... something to watch

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2005)

This movie hints at reality and spins around the edges of believable! The Replacements offers little more than a good story about screw-ups overcoming adversity and making their 15 minutes of fame convincing. And who knows  somewhere,sometime, there may have been a coach or owner who scanned a list of possible players as diverse and ill suited as these characters were and thought, what the hell, I can make some of it work! The actors played their parts well, and all gave just enough intensity to make it partly believable. The addition of Madden and Summerall was a nice touch, especially if you are a fan of that broadcasting duo! All in all a fun movie taken as a fun movie! A diversion for the offices.
