Underrated and Worth the Watch

Rating: Null/10 (15 July 2002)

While first glance caused many to take The Replacements for just another football movie this couldn't be farther from the truth. The Replacements is far more than a sports movie, it's a movie about fitting in, finding love, finding yourself...and yes...sports too.
The main strength of this movie is the characterization. By the time this movie is over you find yourself knowing and caring about every character in the film, something which most movies with a big cast usually fail to achieve.
Now with all that aside, I can now tell you the main selling point of The Replacements...it's a truly feel good movie. If you're down this movie is guaranteed to put a smile on your face, if you're sad it will make you laugh.
I tried not to get too deep into specifics here because even informing you of one scene could deprive you of many laughs. All I can say is I highly recommend this movie to both sports fans and non-sports fans alike. As said before, well worth the watch and a shame to miss. Rating: 9 out of 10.
