Rating: 9/10 (4 October 2011)

" I have seen this movie in excess of 20 times and will no doubt see it 20 more times, it is the best feel-good movie I have ever seen."
"When I want drama and suspense I will watch "The Green Mile" when I want simple, comedy that just leaves me with a huge grin I will watch the replacements."

by user Theoriginaltruebrit truly portrays what this movie is about

you watch movies, to relieve yourself of the routine exhaustion and take a break off from the daily hassles and stress and boredom and have a good hearty laugh and a good time. This movie is one of those movies. You sure as hell will laugh many times throughout the movie, its a feel-good movie, and you will definitely love that song "I'll survive" after you've watched this movie
Perfect movie if you just wanna feel good and be happy for an hour and more,just don't forget ordering a pizza or make yourself some pop corn and have chilled beers.. Man this movie rocks!
Now the user Theoriginaltruebrit may have seen it 20 times (good for him! I'll definitely break that record!) but i've seen it only around 6- 7 times and I'll be seeing it more.. often now and then whenever it comes on Star Movies or HBO or WB (hollywood movie channels in India), and that my friend, is the feeling you have after watching such a movie.
I mean even a movie like Iron Man i've seen repeatedly but only in parts. This movie i can see wholly, no kidding
Also i want to say why i rated this movie 9/10 Its got awesome characters,each with their own very unique idiosyncrasies that would grow on you, and you will love the overall development/progress in the movie. Even the cheerleaders were hot! Most of all, Gene Hackman was perfect as the coach. He reminded me of this teacher i had in school, and he totally understood us students, taught well too, but used to be so total fun but strict and motivating when need be. The 'right-guy', who leads you on the path of glory.
See, it is a light weight, lightly humorous movie, and if you don't get it or expect laughs like you will from,say, The Mask,or Dumb and Dumber,then forget it. Its awesome the way it is. You will get it if you watch it.
For me, i say its a must watch!
