Gridiron Scabs

Rating: 1/10 (17 March 2006)

The premise that this is a feel good movie is completely destroyed by the fact that 'our heroes' have essentially crossed a picket to attain this status. They have a name for that where I come from.
I don't care that it is overpaid sports 'stars' that are the supposed villains here. That is not an excuse, it's sets a bad example and I wouldn't be a all surprised if the funding for this one came from a large corporation or employers federation eager to plant the seed that strike breaking is indeed the all American way. Anyone who thinks that should take a closer look at the workers movement in the states and perhaps a good starting point would be the origins of May Day itself. Keanu's million dollar smile can't hide the maladaptive motives of this movie.
