A fun movie, not a documentary

Rating: Null/10 (5 April 2001)

Will somebody give the "morally and artistically repugnant"-esque critics some valium? This movie is meant to be amusing, not a documentary of the '87 strike. Sure, it's formulaic and relatively brainless; though it may be based on a true event, this isn't the equivalent of a vaudeville version of Schindler's List. It's not even Field of Dreams. It's just lighthearted fun. I think too many people take the fact that it's based on the NFL strike WAAAAAAAY too seriously; remember, guys: football is JUST a game. And this is JUST a fun movie.
