Just another predictable football movie

Rating: 5/10 (28 July 2000)

Too bad I wasted 7 bucks to see this superficial football flick. In the style of films like Major League and Necessary Roughness, The Replacements lacks the effort and thought needed for a good screenplay. I'll admit, there was some decent action (on and off the field) and a few humorous moments. However, the majority of the movie just wasn't entertaining. This was due to a predictable plot and some very absurd overacting. It's unfortunate that such a good cast of characters couldn't have done a little more with this picture.
