Predictable but fun

Rating: 6/10 (30 July 2000)

This was a very predictable movie but had some good stars and was pretty funny. It's a feel-good sports movie and even if you hate football (I do) it's an enjoyable film. Gene Hackman, as always, is excellent. Keanu Reeves play his typical role, but he's likeable. The supporting cast offers up all the laughs, though--they're great! On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 6; low only because it seemed like just another football movie in some parts.
