The Replacements (2000)

Release Date : August 11, 2000
Rating : PG-13
Distributor : Warner Bros. Pictures Distribution
Duration : 1 hr. 58 min.

Overwiew :Inspired by the too-ludicrous-to-be-believed National Football League strike of 1987, Howard Deutch's THE REPLACEMENTS follows a team of scab players as they fill in for the real pros. Jimmy McGinty (Gene Hackman), a compassionate and dedicated coach, is rehired by the owner of the Washington Sentinels to pull together a new crew in order to finish off the season and keep the stadium filled. This includes a safety who is on work release, a lightning-quick wide receiver with bricks for hands, a deranged linebacker-SWAT team member, a chain-smoking Welsh kicker, and Shane Falco (Keanu Reeves), a former college quarterback who lost his chance at the big time after a disastrous Sugar Bowl appearance. The newly formed squad must learn to set aside its differences if it is to win three out of four games and make it to the playoffs. Along the way, Falco finds himself harassed by the Sentinels’ star quarterback, Eddie Martel, as well as falling in love with the team's head cheerleader, Annabelle (Brooke Langton). A final showdown against the strike-breaking reigning champions gives McGinty and Falco one last chance at redemption. Deutch's lighthearted comedy is greatly aided by Hackman and Reeves’s surprisingly sincere performances.

  Critic Reviews  Grade
www.boxoffice.com - : As underdog sports movies go, the football comedy ''The Replacements'' is a lot like its misfit heroes--it's not exactly poetry in motion, but it does manage to put some points on the board in its clumsy, well-meaning way. And speaking of underdogs, it's hard not to cheer for a film so confident it can win the day with a third-rate script and ''The Matrix's'' fascinatingly untalented Keanu Reeves leading the team.  more...  
www.culturevulture.net - : A shabby patchwork of a film, one that lip-synchs it's way through an old and timeworn situation without any attempt to add something new or interesting.  more...

Who are these critics? I love this movie. The only tiny little piece that's not good is the fast car drive by Anabel; what's up with that?
