Crap, I watched this not too long ago. Sinbad is terrible. Kathy Ireland could be replaced by a fig newton, and no one would notice. Rob Schneider is slightly amusing at times. Jason Bateman has been funnier, but Bakula is the beast.

Any movie with Sinbad can't be bad right? Ok seriously, I actually really like this movie, it is funny and better than the Replacements which totally ripped off this movie.

The football version of major league.... it's not bad...not great. Really this movie was made so Rob Schneider could do his fumble bit.

If you liked the Replacements check out the movie it ripped off almost scene by scene. This movie is far better with a surprisingly deep cast.

I saw this when it first came out and it was not that bad. Wasn't a fan of football movies at that time, but enjoyed it.

"Two things. (1) There isn't ANY brawl, and (2) What do you mean there ain't no brawl!?!?" Larry Miller is great in this.

No matter how corny, no matter how cheesy, no matter what anyone else says, this is a fuckin' great movie. The opening scene has the greatest song of any football movie. Pure 90's classic cinema... I love it.

This film gets two stars for the football games alone, that and Rob Schneiders commentary. The side stories are completely terrible and not worth watching at all. Good football though.
