i wish i could have been in the pitch meeting for this ridiculous notion of a sports film .
i bet it was some hotshot warner brothers agent with an dark armani suit and manicured fingernails saying , " it would be a very light comedic version of any given sunday , and we could throw in the hoosiers angle with the casting of gene hackman as the tough but determined coach .
throw in that hunk of a guy keanu reeves and a cast of wacky characters and poof !
we 'll have a hit on our hands !
" the replacements is a hokey mistake of a football film , a mishmash collage of one - dimensional characters , rampant stereotypes of cultures and races , cliched emotional statements of purpose , and keanu reeves wishing for the matrix sequel to start principal photography .
the story is loosely based around the pro football players ' strike in 1987 and a rag - tag team of replacement football players taking up the reins of professional play for a variety of teams with names like the washington sentinels .
keanu reeves stars as shane falco , a has - been football college player looking for redemption .
gene hackman dons a fedora like tom landry and speaks with gusto like a certain coach in hoosiers .
rounding out the cast includes swingers ' jon favreau , 7-up pitchman orlando jones , gruff owner jack warden , and cast of wacky and unknown actors who do amazing jobs of portraying perfectly stereotyped characters : the drunken welshman , the overweight sumo wrestler , the black convict , the violent cop , and the dumb , dumb cheerleaders .
this bunch of nobodies try to make something of themselves by taking the team to the season playoffs with unbelievable football plays , gene hackman yelling and asking himself where the hell dennis hopper is , keanu reeves looking for his body double making him look good on the football field , and cheerleaders hired from the local strip club making the girls from coyote ugly look like waitresses from denny 's .
the usual things happen like clockwork .
the hero rises from the ashes of failure , the team comes together in unity , the hero falls in love with a conventional love interest , the football games are won with enough schlock value to make the most ignorant of audiences cheer and clap , and the cheerleaders make you want to go home and watch late night movies on cinemax .
it 's also a shame when decent directors with good movies under their belts go to seed and become television and sequel hacks .
howard deutch , who was behind the camera for two of the best films of ' 80s - pretty in pink and some kind of wonderful , has since been doing grumpier old men and caroline in the city episodes .
obviously the problem is that without a good script , any director will fail in the end .
sports films are strong vehicles for cinematic glory , gritty tales involving the honor of men and the valiant efforts taken for the ultimate goal of victory in the face of insurmountable odds , the rise and fall of gallant heroes , and stories of dramatic gusto painted with blood and sweat on the battlefield of life .
the replacements offers none of this .

when i watch a movie like mike nichols ' what planet are you from ?
i ca n't help but feel like everyone is looking at me .
it 's as if all the audience is gazing at the back of my head in the darkness , eyes shooting daggers , quietly blaming me for the fact that they paid hard - earned money to spend their time watching this . . .
this .
. .
thing .
i shift uncomfortably in my seat .
i 'm reminded of how i feel when i see a pair of second- or third - rate celebrities engaging in a teleprompted " funny " conversation to introduce the next blockbuster award .
it 's not my fault , i know it 's not my fault , but dammit ,
someone 's got ta be embarrassed , because it does n't look like anyone on the screen is ready to take the blame .
i 'm about to give you a list of names of people who are gon na make a movie together : garry shandling , annette bening , john goodman , greg kinnear , mike nichols .
do any of these names make you instantly shudder ?
the answer i would have come up with before today is no , this is quite a list of talented individuals we 've got here .
granted , john goodman was in the flintstones , and greg kinnear has turned in some less - than - lackluster leading man performances in certified failures like a smile like yours , but even so , they 've got proven power as excellent supporting players .
garry shandling has two television classics under his belt , his ingenious little
it 's garry shandling 's show and the larry sanders show .
and for god 's sake , mike nichols directed the graduate , and annette bening is just walking away from american beauty .
so explain this .
. .
this .
. .
thing .
what planet are you from ?
purports to be a comedy exploring the relationship between men and women satirizing the whole pop - psychology mars / venus phenomenon .
but what this movie winds up being is a collection of unfunny cringe - inducing moments coupled with uninsightful cringe - inducing moments ; the end result is , unsurprisingly , an unfunny , uninsightful , cringe - inducing , thoroughly icky embarrassment .
garry shandling plays an alien from a planet populated by technologically advanced but emotionally vacant males
( they reproduce through cloning , of course ) .
his leaders put a select group of males through a series of tests designed to determine which one is most fit to fly off to earth , find a female of the species , and impregnate her .
they 're taught how to pretend that they 're listening by nodding and saying " uh - huh , " and how to compliment shoes .
imagine my delighted surprise when , oh heavens , all their carefully practiced tactics turn out to fail miserably , producing comedic results !
the lucky winner is fitted with a penis ( since theirs , after generations of disuse have long since shrunk out of existence . . .
i will restrain myself from mentioning the implausibility of such a scenario since the population has stopped evolving due to the fact that they 're all just clones . . .
whoops , too late . )
the penis , when aroused , tends to make a humming noise .
the writers , when frequently strapped for ideas , tend to turn to this as a source of " comedy .
"
it is n't funny the first time .
it is n't funny the eighth time .
it is n't funny the eighteenth time .
if anything , it made me feel vaguely self - conscious .
garry meets up with a coworker at a bank played by greg kinnear , who turns out to be a generic , unlikable scumbag .
he 's meant to fill the part of unfortunate role model for shandling 's alien character , but he 's so flatly drawn that even the writers quickly give up and toss him aside .
kinnear 's scumbagginess is demonstrated by the fact that he claims other peoples ' work as his own to worm his way into a vice presidents ' position and goes to aa meetings to pick up chicks .
wow .
what a magnificent bastard .
nearly every man in the movie , in fact , is played as the same sort of sex - driven slimeball .
when kinnear 's wife walks into the office , there is n't a single guy who does n't trip , bump into a wall , or otherwise pratfall as if they 'd never seen a woman before .
the few guys that are n't particularly slimeballs , such as john goodman 's detective character , are simply uncommunicative workaholics .
shandling meets up with annette bening , who will inevitably prove to be the love he never knew existed , at one of kinnear 's aa meetings .
shandling 's mission is to have a baby , and when he reveals his desires to her , bening instantly falls for him , and the next day . . .
they get married .
yup .
the next day .
cuz ya see , it turns out she wants a baby too !
bening 's character perhaps was the most difficult to watch , especially after seeing her come apart at the seams so effectively in american beauty . . .
if her character here is supposed to be representing the female of the species as a whole , then woe , i say , to the species .
she 's unfathomably insecure , and succumbs so easily to all of shandling 's lines and lies that it borders on tragic .
there 's a point where , after thinking she may not be able to bear children , she learns that she is indeed pregnant .
when garry comes home after nearly cheating on her , she strolls into the kitchen and sings " high hopes " ( you know , the uplifting ant and the rubber tree plant song ) to deliver the news , and then says to him , " now you ca n't leave me .
"
we 're supposed to empathize with shandling 's discovery of the feeling of " guilt , " but instead i wanted to weep for bening that she was placing her entire life and soul firmly in the lap of a great big nothing .
and eventually , shandling falls in love with her . .
.
for real , i suppose , though i 'm not sure exactly what prompted it .
what 's the message i derive from all this ?
men are liars , inherently empty creatures , but if you hang around long enough . .
.
well , maybe something will click .
ha ha .
. .
ha ?
i 'm thankful such broad cynicism is n't frequently allowed to run so rampant .
let 's all join hands and pray that the planet these folks are from is not this one .
there 's also a subplot involving john goodman as an airline incident investigator that wades in the bog of stupidity .
goodman , through a series of astoundingly implausible realizations , puts together the fact that shandling is a being from another world with a magic , vibrating penis .
it has all the makings for a subplot of having shandling be discovered , that , thankfully , never comes to the inevitable hackneyed fruition .
instead , it just dangles limply on the branch for a while , withers , and falls away .
further proof that goodman should just stick to doing coen brothers movies .
but let 's not dwell on this any longer , i 've already wasted plenty of your time and my own .
let 's move on , forget about what we 've seen here , and get on with our lives .
and to help us out , let 's end things on a happy note .
. .
congratuations go out to annette bening , winner of this week 's " title !
" award , for delivering the awkward line of dialog containing the movie 's name .

melvin van peebles ' " sweet sweetback 's baadasssss song " was a watershed moment in the history of american cinema and the black movement .
it was released less than a decade after the civil rights movement had begun and almost twenty years before the rodney king incident .
its violent and highly sexualized revenge tale of a macho black hustler fighting back against white oppression and winning was something that had never been seen on an american movie screen before .
in style , content , and how it was conceived and produced , " sweet sweetback " was a cinematic revolution , whether or not one agrees with its subject matter .
van peebles , a black american who first gained recognition by writing novels in france , built " sweet sweetback " from the ground up almost entirely by himself .
because no studio would dare fund such a film , he was forced to raise all the money himself .
the movie ended up costing about $ 500 , 000 , part of which was put up by none other than bill cosby .
van peebles cut costs by hiring non - union labor and taking on most of the film 's responsibilities himself .
he wrote the script , scored the music , edited and directed the film , as well as starred in the central role .
he was also a brilliant entrepreneur who always found a way to make an extra buck .
for instance , when the mppa slapped the film with a dreaded x - rating , van peebles not only threatened to bring a lawsuit against jack valenti and the mpaa , but he also developed a little marketing scheme :
he coined the phrases " rated x by an all - white jury , " which he put on the movie posters to help advertise the film .
he also printed the phrase on tee - shirts which he had no problem selling .
the storyline in " sweet sweetback " is deceptively simple .
it takes place in los angeles , and van peebles stars as the title character , a tough male hustler of few words who grew up in a brothel , and makes money by doing what he does best : having sex .
one day , he agrees to go with a couple of amiable white cops down to the station to make it look like they 're bringing in suspects on a politically - charged case involving murder .
however , on the way to the station the cops arrest a young black revolutionary named mu - mu ( hubert scales ) , who they proceed to beat viciously .
acting out of complete impulse rather than political motivation , sweetback fights back and beats the cops to the brink of death .
the rest of the film follows sweetback as he evades the cops on his way to eventual escape in mexico .
although the repetition of watching sweetback run gets a little old by the end of the film , this plot allows van peebles ' camera to roam the darker side of l . a . - the ghettos , alleys , and back - street whorehouses that other films had always overlooked .
van peebles ' entire point in making the movie was to secure on celluloid a vision of the black experience in america that other filmmakers had ignored .
at the beginning of " sweet sweetback , " he offers this epigraph , which is a traditional prologue used in medieval times when a messenger brought bad news : " sire , these lines are not an homage to brutality that the artist has invented , but a hymn from the mouth of reality . . .
"
van peebles wanted to make sure that his vision was one of reality , not of exaggeration .
of course , with today 's abundance of rap and hip hop music that sings the same ode to black inner - city life , as well as films by spike lee , john singleton , and the hughes brothers , " sweet sweetback " does n't seem all that revolutionary .
it is important to remember that this film must be viewed in the context and time period in which it was made .
at that time , " sweet sweetback " was so controversial that only two theaters in the entire united states would play it .
distributors were petrified of a film that , in van peebles ' words , gave the black audience " a chance to see some of their own fantasies acted out - about rising out of the mud and kicking ass .
"
of course , once it caught on , it caught on big .
" sweet sweetback " is now considered to be the film that kicked off the blaxploitation era , although van peebles disassociates " sweetback " from other movies like " shaft " ( 1972 ) and " the mack " ( 1973 ) , because those were financed by big hollywood studios .
" sweet sweetback " is also the only film deemed mandatory viewing by the black panthers .
however , even if when viewed from an african - american perspective , " sweet sweetback " is certainly not without its controversies .
when it was first released , an article was published in " ebony " magazine denouncing the film , while at the same time the black panthers used an entire newsletter to praise it .
there have been arguments that the victory for sweetback is really no victory at all - beating cops and then running away to mexico is nothing to be proud of .
others have pointed out that sweetback has little to say throughout the film ; he has no political motivations , and therefore the violence and havoc he wreaks is not rooted in fundamental beliefs , but in personal and selfish motives .
still others point to the clich ?
black potency that stereotypes sweetback as being good at nothing but having sex , illustrated in a scene where he gains the respect of a white biker group by bringing their female leader to orgasm .
nevertheless , a movie like " sweet sweetback " can not be made without conflicting points of view .
it is a revolutionary movie
not because it 's about one man 's defiance , but because it put front - and - center black issues that had never been dealt with before .
until that point , american cinema was an almost exclusively white domain , and with the exception of sidney poitier , all black actors were relegated to specifically black roles that were important only in relation to whites .
the fact that " sweet sweetback " was a movie by black about blacks , was something new ( in the opening credits , van peebles lists the starring actors as simply " the black community " ) .
van peebles tells an interesting story
that goes a long way toward defining the difference between " sweet sweetback " and all movies that had come before it .
when the movie first opened , he saw it in a theater next to an older woman .
near the end of the film , when sweetback is wounded by the police and stumbling through the southern california desert , she kept saying to herself , " oh lord , let him die .
do n't let them kill him .
let him die on his own .
"
it was so ingrained in her mind that death was imminent for any african - american in a movie who rebelled against white authority , that she could n't even conceive of the possibility that the film might end with his successful escape .
and , of course , sweetback does escape , and the screen fills with the message :
" watch out !
a baad asssss nigger is coming back to collect some dues .
" beyond the political aspects , " sweet sweetback " is an entertaining picture , which van peebles always intended it to be .
he squeezed every drop out of his limited budget , and produced a film that , although dated now , was technically fantastic at the time .
he shot in rough , documentary - like fashion , while also utilizing almost every visual and aural trick his technology would allow him .
he makes good use of older techniques like split screens , freeze frames , reversed color schemes , and overlapping images .
the only time the film ever looks bad is during the night sequences , because van peebles simply did not have the needed equipment .
watching " sweet sweetback " more than twenty - five years after its initial release , one realizes that it still has bite .
arguments can be made that race relations in the united states have made quantum leaps since the early seventies , but there are still problems that are reflected in this film .
but there is more to the film than its racial aspect .
the legacy of " sweet sweetback 's baadasssss song " is not only the plentiful amount of art and music told from the african - american perspective , but more importantly , the work of every artist who has fought to fund and produce that which is important to him .
