Very very funny movie

Rating: Null/10 (15 July 2002)

I'm so glad I found all these reviews of the Replacements as I thought I was the only person on the planet who really loved this movie. Maybe like some other Brits who posted, I don't watch or understand American Football, but just enjoyed the comedy. Maybe others were expecting an authentic Football movie. Jon Favreau stands out the most as Bateman, (I still keep laughing about his first run out when he takes out the cheerleaders) but the whole cast is superb. Gene Hackman could never disapoint, and I've been a big fan of Rhys Ifans since his first big UK film -Twin Town (check it out). Then you also have a brilliant Orlando Jones, a gorgeous David Denman,... in fact the whole cast was excellent. It remineded me in some ways of The Full Monty - a very funny, feel good movie.
