Ok ish. Not really funny, but ok ish. Would have fared better if some actors had acted more credible, now some performances are bordering on slapstick.

Rating: 6/10 (11 May 2019)

Gene Hackman is ok and Keanu Reeves is his usual charming self, although I have seen both of them perform with a lot more spark and edge in other movies. The other supporting actors are (sometimes) fun to watch, but their absurd acting performances are stretching this movie into slapstick territory, which I get bored by pretty easily, because I never like it when I get a cue that I have to laugh NOW, because THIS is a joke, so please laugh NOW.
The story is rather bland, difficult to make it sparkle, because there is so little to offer storywise. It basically is one longwinding portrait of a B-team of football players. How can that be interesting? Will they be able to perform well or will they loose every game? That's all there is to it. Oh yes, there is a budding romance with Keanu Reeves and a cheerleader on the side, so the female audience wont get bored to death by this rather dull sports movie. I got bored anyway, because romance or no romance, action or no action, this movie is just a formula, just one out of a hundred Hollywood comedies. Just going through the motions. Not irritatingly bad, but certainly nothing great either.
