A football movie I like!

Rating: Null/10 (27 August 2000)

I have to admit, I am definitely NOT a fan of the sport, and usually movies to do with it, but I actually enjoyed this movie. I volunteered to go with my 29 year old sister to see this (because she loves Keanu), and it was a laughing riot! I especially liked the characters Jon Favreau and Orlando Jones (the infamous "7UP" guy) played. The ensemble of the cast actually works and blends very well, despite their differences in looks and behavior. Keanu Reeves displayed pretty decent acting as the teams leader. It was hilarious, as a comedy is meant to be. The soundtrack is also incredible! How hilarious is a bunch of guys dancing to Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive"? Twice? Very. I can't wait until the CD is released. On a final note, you can be a football junkie or not, and still enjoy this movie, which is good to appeal to a bigger audience. I personally think that this is Keanu's best, next to "Speed" and "The Matrix". A must-buy for any fan on video.
