The Replacements
In a controversial comedy, US football players Washington Sentinels suddenly strike in the professional soccer derby in 1987, causing a disaster for the team coach and club owner. There has to be a radical solution, with coach Jack Hackman and owner Jack Warden proposing to play instead of the team that gave up his job during the strike. Brett Collin plays with them. All this happened in one week and maybe everything will go well instead of the team.

The Replacements is a bad movie, but a likable one.

A soggy comedy.

The Replacements, as with just about everything else coming out of Hollywood, merely reconfigures the same predictable gross-out jokes, sentimental platitudes, and decorative sex that figure into half the screenplays in circulation.

Football flick has a great lineup, but fumbles the ball.

Lightweight but likeable football story.

average lighthearted entertainment ... to be queued up more than normal in the coming months with a potential NFL lockout and strike looming

A haphazard film about half as sophisticated as the average beer commercial.

At least the ending doesn't cop out. There is no big happy ending where everyone gets a pro football gig or a big Nike ad campaign.

A field goal, not a touchdown.

Plenty of red meat here but also so much script rot that both ought to be recalled by the FDA.

This negligible comedy might as well come with a bouncing ball so members of the audience can recite the dialogue along with the actors.

There isn't a football cliche "The Replacements" doesn't tackle, but its all-star cast and easygoing approach make it one of the more enjoyable recent sports comedies.
