definitely not a gem, but...

...then why do I keep on returning to it ? I've seen it on TV a couple of years ago. Then one month ago , looking through Reeves' filmography, I remembered it. Bought the DVD, and just can't stop re-watching it rather often. and I wonder why...it's not only the soundtrack. not only the clichés. not only the oh-so-predictable plot. actually, if one has seen a few sports movies , already knows the whole plot/action/scenes in advance... maybe it's the simple and enjoyable fun... OK, not the most intelligent type of humor, but at least it's got its moments... and the whole cast is just too fit for the movie.
a good antidote against the everyday problems of life. at least in this movie somebody gets a second chance.
it's not intelligent, but sure is entertaining.
