    This movie was an amazing display of what regular people can do in life. I know Howard Deutch was not going for a blockbuster, he was wanting to draw emotions from people who are looknig for a second chance and proved to others that anyone even if a person did screw up they always come back better than they were.

    A very funny movie that leaves you crying from laughing so hard. It has my applauds and my recommendation to anyone I know. One of the best Football movies I've seen by far.

    Mind numbingly formulaic. On the upside, it has some of the worst pep talks I've ever heard. Gene Hackman must have been blackmailed into appearing in this stinker. Comedy for the lobotomized.

    Hey, obviously, the critics have lost touch with the ordinary movie-goer. It's a movie about football for cripes sakes....not about feeling your emotions or sanctifying something *special* in our lives. I found it entertaining, funny, well-paced, and I even bought the video and the DVD. Great flick!

    You know, I hate sports movies with a passion, but THIS takes the cake. This movie is not only the worst of the worst sports movies ever made, but it is also one of the worst movies ever made. It's actually an insult to people who enjoy movies who actually spend their time watching them. I can't tell you the last time I was so angry watching a movie. If you enjoy watching the same exact plot onscreen with the most juvenile, wretched, and laziest jokes and the most unnecessary use of popular songs, look no further than The Replacements. Everything about this movie is TRASH. From the boring plotline, to the cliched characters, to the extreme lack of any surprises, this movie deserves a trip to the local dump. Even the way this sport is executed in this movie bring it down to new lows. This movie does not deserve to be in anyone's collection or else it will get polluted. This movie deserves to be taken out of every store that sells it. It's just one of the most insulting movies I have ever seen in my life, and I beg you not to watch it!… Expand

    An agreeably and unapologetically lightweight late-summer blockbuster.

    A sports movie as distinguishable as one M&M in a bag, working off a formula as easy-to-read as an onsides kick.

    The story of the triumphant underdog is irresistible, even when every single plot point comes marching down Main Street.
