Yes, it's cheesy, but yes, it's funny...

Rating: Null/10 (31 August 2000)

No, I did not go see this movie for any of the following reasons: 1) my boyfriend made me; 2) Keanu Reeves; 3) something else I wanted to see was sold out.
I went because I felt like going to see it and from what I saw of the tail end of the preview I caught, I thought, hey why not? And I laughed sometimes til it hurt. So did most of the other folks in the theater.
Yeah, it's cliched, but who the hell goes to see a movie like this expecting to see Oscar-winning performances? You want grit and drama, go see "Any Given Sunday." Me, I was cracking up over the movie, and no, I was not drooling all over Keanu Reeves (truth be told, I went coz I like Gene Hackman, who doesn't?)
And I only wish I knew (since I've never seen him before) if the guy who plays the deaf player is really deaf... (yeah, I know sign language, for those who don't know, he explains that his father taught him how to play). But that's another story.
Go see it, ladies, never mind it's about football, and while Keanu Reeves doesn't hurt, there's enough other goodlooking guys to make it worthwhile, and guys, well, there's the cheerleaders (hooray to Brooke for being a halfway intelligent and attractive woman!)
8/10
