It is not who you were; it is who you step up to be.

Rating: 5/10 (4 July 2001)

During a pro-football players strike, a savvy owner hires an unconventional coach(Gene Hackman)to keep the season alive with a rag tag motley crew led by Keanu Reeves. Reeves' character must overcome his own demons before helping the "replacements" find short lived glory. This is comic relief, but not comparable to baseball's MAJOR LEAGUE.
Some hard hitting action on the field gives this flick reality. At times you can feel the pain. You don't have to know anything about or even like football to enjoy this movie. Beware of splittin' a rib laughing.
Supporting cast includes: Orlando Jones, Faizon Love, Brooke Langton and Gailard Sartain.
