Description

Superstar Keanu Reeves (the "Matrix" trilogy, "Sweet November") stars in this fact-based comedy about the 1987 National Football League players' strike. A motley group of replacement players for the Washington Sentinels overcome all odds and put together a string of seemingly impossible victories. Co-starring two-time Oscar-winner Gene Hackman ("Heist," "Unforgiven"), Orlando Jones ("The Time Machine," "Chain of Fools") and Jon Favreau ("Made," "Swingers"). With NFL announcers John Madden and Pat Summerall.

    The critics pan it but the customers love it. Just proving again that the critics don't have any idea about real people!

    Just a fun movie. Love the way the movie shows all the different players and who they are. Just shows how much being a TEAM effects the outcome of anything. never miss a viewing when on TV. Mush have seen it 100 times and love it each time.

    It is not a masterful work of art. It is: funny, well acted, heart warming, enjoyable, for gals even more than guys with some brilliantly funny and sweet moments. My go to "make me feel good" movie.

  • Don’t believe Rotten Tomatoes

    This is the kind of movie that gets hammered on Rotten Tomatoes because it is formulaic. However, it is well executed and very funny. If you understand that this movie is going to be a light hearted “rag-tag team beats the odds” sports movie, and aren’t hoping for something with deep meaning, you will love it. A great flick that will make you laugh and happy at the end. Isn’t that what a 5-star movie is? 2 hours of great entertainment. Rent this movie, you will be happy with the purchase.
