Major Surprise

Rating: 10/10 (20 August 2000)

I won't say I got dragged kicking and screaming to see The Replacements, but I was NOT enthusiastic about watching Keanu Reeves wooden-facing his way through a tired loser-to-winner plot.
After one hour, I was laughing hard enough to cry. The cheerleader routine in the San Diego game is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
This stealth comedy is the first really funny treatment of a bunch of losers recruited to play sports since Bad News Bears. It is a delightful comedy and delivers what Major League only promised. I recommend it highly for a good laugh.
