...[Hackman and Reeves] both give smooth performances and the supporting cast is superb....Good, unpretentious fun...
Movieline's Hollywood Life
Sep 1, 2000
Rating: 0.5/5 -- This negligible comedy might as well come with a bouncing ball so members of the audience can recite the dialogue along with the actors.

Rating: 3/4 -- The Replacements is a bad movie, but a likable one.
Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)

The Replacements, as with just about everything else coming out of Hollywood, merely reconfigures the same predictable gross-out jokes, sentimental platitudes, and decorative sex that figure into half the screenplays in circulation.

Rating: 2.5/4 -- There are good sports movies, indifferent sports movies, and bad sports movies. The Replacements in nestled somewhere between the latter two. Full Review

Product Description:

Inspired by the too-ludicrous-to-be-believed National Football League strike of 1987, Howard Deutch's THE REPLACEMENTS follows a team of scab players as they fill in for the real pros. Jimmy McGinty (Gene Hackman), a compassionate and dedicated coach, is rehired by the owner of the Washington Sentinels to pull together a new crew in order to finish off the season and keep the stadium filled. This includes a safety who is on work release, a lightning-quick wide receiver with bricks for hands, a deranged linebacker-SWAT team member, a chain-smoking Welsh kicker, and Shane Falco (Keanu Reeves), a former college quarterback who lost his chance at the big time after a disastrous Sugar Bowl appearance. The newly formed squad must learn to set aside its differences if it is to win three out of four games and make it to the playoffs. Along the way, Falco finds himself harassed by the Sentinels' star quarterback, Eddie Martel, as well as falling in love with the team's head cheerleader, Annabelle (Brooke Langton). A final showdown against the strike-breaking reigning champions gives McGinty and Falco one last chance at redemption. Deutch's lighthearted comedy is greatly aided by Hackman and Reeves's surprisingly sincere performances.
