The Little Keanu That Could...

Rating: 9/10 (4 September 2000)

Okay, enough has been said about how this is a typical sports movie. For someone looking for a feel-good flick in a multiplex full of blood, gore, psychotics, cheerleaders and geriatric adventures, this movie was a winner. As the wife in a married couple who doesn't normally enjoy spectator sports, I can honestly say that you don't have to be an NFL fan to enjoy this movie. Keanu and Gene's performances seemed effortless and I think I caught them actually enjoying their jobs. The addition of some new faces was a good move, and the chemistry, like the story, felt as though it was building naturally until the very end.

*spoiler*
Don't go slamming good All-American fun and games; we need to laugh all the way home sometimes, and the little lift that we got from seeing a good guy finish first is worth more to me than the ticket price.
