Overview

Maverick old-guard coach Jimmy McGinty is hired in the wake of a players' strike to help the Washington Sentinels advance to the playoffs. But that impossible dream hinges on whether his replacements can hunker down and do the job. So, McGinty dusts off his secret dossier of ex-players who never got a chance (or screwed up the one they were given) and knits together a bad-dream team of guys who just may give the Sentinels their title shot.

Roger Ebert

"The Replacements is slap-happy entertainment painted in broad strokes, two coats thick... And the musical score provides such painstaking instructions about how to feel during every scene, it's like the booklet that tells you how to unpack your computer."

Variety

Even so, pic scores as a late-summer crowd-pleaser with strong sleeper potential.

The bottom line is this movie is downright funny, from start to finish. The cast are absolutely wonderful and the casting director did a brilliant job of bringing this gang together.

This movie is like Little Giants for adults. It's fun watching this brand of misfits come together and win football games.
