Rating: 8/10 (20 January 2006)

This is a great football comedy, that's quite amusing, with fun performances and some funny football action!. All the characters are cool, and the story is good as well, plus Keanu Reeves is simply amazing in this!. The cheer leading auditions were quite funny, and I thought this was pretty well made and written as well, plus Gene Hackman is wonderful in his role as the coach!. I tend to enjoy most Football movies because I am a fan of the sport, so this one was no different, and I thought Brett Cullen played the dick real well as the greedy QB Martel! plus Reeves and Brooke Langton had very good chemistry together. All the characters are extremely likable (except Martel), and while it won't have you falling down in laughter or anything, it will manage to keep amused through it's running time, plus while the ending is predictable it still was pretty cool!. It is somewhat underrated and I thought Reeves was perfect for the lead role! plus if you don't take the football action seriously, you should enjoy it!. This is a great football comedy, that's quite amusing, with fun performances, and some funny football action, I highly recommend this one!. The Direction is great!. Howard Deutch does a great! job here with very good camera work and just keeping the film amusing and at a fast pace. The Acting is a lot of fun!. Keanu Reeves is amazing as always and is amazing here, he is extremely likable, had very good chemistry with Brooke Langton, was funny, had a pretty cool character,had lots of charisma, and just did an amazing job overall (Reeves Rules!!!!!!). Gene Hackman is outstanding as the Coach, he was very likable, surprisingly relaxed, had great screen presence as always, and while this was no Hooisers he still did an outstanding job!. Brooke Langton is stunningly gorgeous and does excellent as the cheerleader she was very likable perky, had very good chemistry with Reeves and seemed to be enjoying herself, I liked her lots!. Orlando Jones is funny as Franklin, I enjoyed his performance. Faizon Love and Michael Taliferro are funny as the Jackson brothers I liked them. Ace Yonamine is funny as the sumo football player. Jon Favreau is great as the psycho type Bateman, he was funny. Rhys Ifans steals a lot of the scenes as the chain smoking kicker I loved him!. Brett Cullen is very convincing as the dick QB, and did his job well. Rest of the cast do fine. Overall I highly recommend this one!. ***1/2 out of 5
