The best football comedy around

Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2005)

My head was up and down with laughter while watching this movie. This movie was inspired off real events. It begins when famous football players go on strike, and it is up to Jimmy McGinty(Gene Hackman) to put together a new team of players to continue the football season. He gets Shane Falco(Keanu Reeves) a washed up quarterback in hopes to lead the team to victory. But the problem is there are a bunch of misfits, and putting them together as a team is not going to be easy. I like this movie next to Wildcats. It has awesome football scenes, as well as great laughs. The movie is a good classic in its own wright. If you are a big football fan I suggest watching this movie.
