Excellent but underrated film
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
The acting in this movie is really good.
It's football season again, so I looked online to see what is recommended besides the usual top movies to get my seasonal football movie fix.This one was listed as one of the 25 best. Boy were they wrong. The movie is supposed to be a comedy, but all the comedy bits were just idiotic. This is Andy Dick at his worst. They cast him to be this crazy football coach who physically abuses his players every other scene; like chasing the players on a bike; poking them with the first down marker. How is this supposed to be considered funny? At least they got the crazy part right in hiring Andy Dick to play the role. The movie even tries to copy the formulas that other movies use to do well; but fails at that as well. At least with the other movies, you were left with a feel good feeling at the end; not a 'whatever, you just wasted my time' feeling like this one does. If you need a fix to watch a football movie this season, re-watch one of the greats instead. At least you'll having a satisfying feeling afterwords.
For such a low rating I was expecting something terrible, but what I got was side splitting humor...literally choked with funny dialogue and situations. The fact that it's a football movie and I hate sports, yet I loved every minute of it speaks volumes to me. I don't think that Andy Dick gets enough work in Hollywood, because without his delivery, I can see the dialogue falling flat and not being anywhere near as humorous. I loved the movie 'Jack & Jill' with Adam Sandler, so if you didn't like that, chances are you won't like this either, but seriously, I laughed from beginning to end. The coffee cup with an image of Hitler that had the text 'FAIL' on it was some of the detail that made me laugh sooo much. More comedy writers/directors should pay attention to the small gags because it's that sort of thing that pays off upon repeat viewings for the slower viewers. If you don't find the movie that's fine, humor is subjective, as is beauty, and I'm glad everyone has different views otherwise we'd all be chasing after the same things. Enjoy this one if you can.
Andy Dick in a simply awful role. I'm not an Andy Dick hater, I liked him in News Radio but he was simply unbearable in this movie.Will Sasso and Adam Corolla had slightly amusing roles but the rest of the background MadTV actors (Mo Collins, Debra Wilson, Bryan Callen) were forgettable at best.The male and female leads (Marshall Cook and Alison Haislip) believe it or not actually seemed realistic. Everyday people incapable of putting in a great acting performance that no one would want to see in a movie.The only reason I actually finished watching the movie after 20 minutes was to be able to actually say I watched it completely before giving it a 1 star review.
One of the best comedy's I've seen in a while. Good from the beginning to the end. Great cast and acting. Needs to be better promoted. Not over the top, but offensive enough keep you laughing throughout the entire movie. By far funnier than the big Hollywood comedies. I highly encourage those with a sense of humor to check out this movie. Football fans will dig it as well. I'm still laughing almost 24 hours after watching the movie. Can't wait for the DVD release. Definitely purchasing this movie. An original refreshing movie, its about time. Long and short, check it out, what do you have to lose, you won't be disappointed.
