The Replacements is an inspirational football movie that strikes every athletes' dream, a second chance. It runs approximately 98 minutes long. It is rated PG-13 and was released in 2000. Keanu Reeves stars as Shane Falco, a boat scraper that used to be a college superstar. He is approached by a professional coach to join a replacement team. The coach was creating this team because the professional players were on a strike about salaries. The replacement team had to band together, become a team, and win 3 out of 4 games to go to the playoffs for the first time in 7 years.
This movie is amazing in my opinion. It truly captures the dream of a second chance. I love how you can watch and see how the team starts to band together. The best part is that they don't have to physically say that they are banding together, but is just happens through the body language and actions. The team is filled with tons of strange characters that just add to the awkward situation. I would recommend this movie to anyone that wants to see a good movie.

ReplyDeleteThis movie is so funny. The best part had to of been when the big guy pucked on the field.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this movie, but this isn't at all what I thought it was about, so I might have to watch the next time it comes on TV. You say it's inspirational - is it meant to be more funny or serious?
