Varsity Blues
Football may be life for some. This is the case in West Canaan, Texas, because it may be ideal for everyone. There everyone believes that football is a way of life, and losing is not a realistic option. Midfielder Lens Harbor will suffer from a serious injury and will be replaced by another player, John Moxon, to lead the team in Texas to win the championship, which is waiting for all to no avail.

...someone could make a very interesting, nuanced film about the exalted place that high school football holds in some parts of Texas... this isn't that film.

Already a prime candidate for 1999's worst!

A serviceable 1990s teen flick.

Tired, corn-fed storyline and generic, plug-and-play direction!

Scenes work, but they don't pile up and build momentum.

...slick, well made, and well acted, but it takes no chances. Seems a wasted opportunity.
