    Compared to other spoof movies, It was pretty good. A few funny scenes in it and does a good job parodying things as well. However the film features a lot of stupid parts and that ruined the film.

    This movie was terrible. Full of overused stupid dirty jokes, and "eye candy" as my coworkers call it. Yes it was making fun of sports movies, it just seemed that they hurried to get this out before someone else made a "Sports Movie" following along the line of Scary, Epic, and Date movies. However, it did make me kind of chuckle at parts, so i wont give it a 1, it gets a 2.

    Walked out of this movie. Only the second time in my life and I go to a lot of movies. This is not funny. It is painfully not funny. The "jokes" are cruel and crude and there is no point to this movie. This makes Epic and Scary IV look like award winners. Bad acting bad script and boring.

    How many more parody movies are we going to have to see? After Scary Movie 3, these all went downhill, starting with the disaster known as Date Movie. One can only hope that Meet The Spartans will be a tiny bit better

    Crude, tasteless, and inept. To quote Richard Ropert "This Movie Sucks"

    This is the equivalent of Hollywood pooing in a sock and calling it entertainment. I went to the movie, but I was the only one in the entire room. Tastelessly done, all this deserves and all it will ever get is a zero.

    As dumb spoofs go, The Comebacks isn't bad. It takes almost every sports movie of the last five years ("Field of Dreams," too) and blends them into a single slapdash comedy.

    An exceptionally lame genre parody that plumbs depths of ineptitude heretofore charted only by the marginally less abysmal "Date Movie."

    Isn’t as obnoxiously awful as, say, "Epic Movie"; it’s simply not funny in the least.
