The movie is also brisk and wholehearted and smarter than you expect.
If you are willing to overlook the occasional missed block, clumsy tackle or dropped pass, there is more than enough in Varsity Blues to keep you engrossed.

Its depiction of teenage behavior appears calculated to seem irreverent while satisfying expectations.
This coming-of-age drama scores big points for trying to honestly tell a story rather than just pass the time.
Its vague stabs at moralizing and goofball shenanigans are an odd mix. It's not the high school experience I had, nor is it probably like yours.
Half-comedy, half-coming-of-age movie with another half or so of sports film and maybe another quarter of soundtrack that adds up to 175 percent of a bad movie.
