Major League in pads

Rating: 5/10 (19 September 2000)

Someone decided to take "Major League", rename the characters, and take out the excitement.
The result is The Replacements, a typical sports movie staring Keanu Reeves. The movie begins with a Professional Football Players strike, right in the middle of a game. The owners decide to finish the season using replacement players.
From there we get recycled scenes from such movies as Major League, The Longest Yard, Major League again, Necessary Roughness, Varsity Blues and even more Major League.
How many times can you see the same c**p and keep watching. And to top it off, we are treated to the "Big Game" and "Fantastic Finish" that makes every bad sports movie complete.
