Suprizingly Funny

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 2000)

"The Replacemts" turned out to be one of the funniest movies I've seen in a while. Although most of it is stuff we've seen a million times before, it still makes you howl and there is alos a little bit of a serious overtone to it. Although it is a good cast, the acting isnt great. Gene Hackman was good in his role as the coach, but they didn't need him or Al Pacino for that role. Same with keanu Reeves as the quarterback. However, there was some good chemistry between the charecters. One other good thing about this movie is it is an example of a true PG-13 rated film, meaning it's not objectional enough to be an R but kids under 13 shouldn't see it unless they are very mature. There are some pretty racy jokes in it. Although a predictible and unoriginal movie, it was still a lot funnier and a lot better than I expected. *** stars(out of 4)
