Replacements

Pros: Gene Hackman, some comedy
Cons: Cliches abound, creates little empathy for characters, movie repeats itself

As a football fan and writer for a now-defunct football newsletter, I was curious about "The Replacements." After all, the NFL did use replacement players for three games in 1987. The movie story of "The Replacements" takes place...

Pros: Lots of laughs
Cons: none

Let me begin by saying I use a webtv and cannot make paragraphs in the usual manner. This is why you will see ~~~ in my reviews. They represent paragraph breaks. Thank you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Replacements is another Keanu Reeves movie about...

Pros: I think my opinion title sums pretty much sums up the benefits.
Cons: Hackneyed, hokey, ho-hum.

Due to my extreme lust for one of the lead actors, I’m probably not the most impartial person to ask about the entertainment value contained within the two-hour modern sports ne’er-do-well fable that is The Replacements. Generally, if someone...

Pros: Laughed all the way through.
Cons: none

I will start by saying that I am not Keanu Reeves number one fan. His movies are entertaining but nothing I would run out and buy because I just could not live without them. This one might change all that. I enjoy a movie with humor, although I think the...

Pros: It is pleasantly confusing to see John Madden billed alongside Keanu Reeves
Cons: The way you'll feel suicidal for knowing your species continues to produce films like this

Pros: Gene Hackman and Keanu Reeves grin and bear it
Cons: Every bit of the screenplay--including punctuation marks--is something we've heard before

Pros: The plot, the cast, the acting, the everything! I double love this!!!
Cons: YEAH RIGHT! LIKE THERE COULD BE ANY!

This movie is the best! I watched it three times in a row! I am not kidding! I couldn't get enough of it. There wasn't anything about this movie that I didn't love!

Keanu
He was so relaxed in this role. Not since "A walk in...

Pros: Hilarious, Good Acting, Good Cast
Cons: Unoriginal, Predictable

Every year, many sports-related movies are made, and I usually end up never seeing any of them. I have my reasons, though. Watching a movie about baseball or football just doesn't float my boat, and usually the actors who star in them aren't really my...

Pros: Keanu Reeves, a funny script, great camera work
Cons: The plot is worn out

The Replacements is a slight and unpretentious film that doesn't try to be more than it promises. Better yet, it manages to deliver a load of belly laughs along the way.

It's not exactly highbrow, but then again, it doesn't quite stoop to the...

Pros: Absolutely Hysterical Story and Characters
Cons: None, But I Surely HOPE they have a Sequel To This Movie!

This past weekend, I loaded up my sons and headed out to see The Replacements at the theatre. We had seen the previews of the movie and because all of us love football AND love to laugh we figured this would be a great movie to see together.

Pros: Football! Cheerleaders! Lovable quirky underdogs!
Cons: Predictable and formulaic lowbrow humor. But it still works.

Overview This is one of my favorite football movies, and seeing as fall is here, I went and rented it on Netflix. The Replacements is a football comedy, with a very predictable but fun plotline. The Replacements is all about a group of lovable ...

Pros: VERY FUNNY, ENTERTAINING & GOOD MUSIC
Cons: NONE

Pros: Humorous in many parts, some good football sequences, Entertaining
Cons: Script inconsistency, very predictable

While it’s really great when a movie can educate in an artistic manner and still be entertaining, I’ll often settle for any one of those qualities at times. I wasn’t expecting a lot from The Replacements but I’m a sports fan and had heard...

Pros: Give me a minute, I might be able to think of one....
Cons: Rehashed jokes and characters from other football comedies.

Well, after a preview on MTV, I had high hopes for this little comedy. You can imagine my disappointment after viewing this film and realizing that I just spent about 5 bucks I'll never see again.
