Rotten Reviews – Football Edition!

Every week I like to tell you about the movies coming to theaters that weekend, but honestly, there aren’t any big movies coming out this weekend so I decided to see how FOOTBALL MOVIES stack up this week.

80% Austin Peay Governors QB Mike Delillo’s passer rating against Northern Alabama!

52% Any Given Sunday – Starring: Al Pacino & Jamiee Foxx  

Four years ago, DAmato’s Miami Sharks were at the top. Now, his team is struggling with three consecutive losses, sliding attendance, and aging heroes, particularly 39-year-old quarterback Jack “Cap” Rooney. Off the field, DAmato is struggling with a failed marriage and estranged children, and is on a collision course with Christina Pagniacci, the young president/co-owner of the Sharks organization.

41% The Replacements – Starring: Keeanu Reeves & Gene Hackman

It’s late in the season; the playoffs are fast approaching; and the Washington Sentinels have just gone on strike. Scrambling for a solution, the Sentinels’ owner Edward O’Neil hatches a plan to bring in legendary coach Jimmy McGinty to recruit a team of replacement players in exactly one week. For fans and owners alike, the strike is a disaster. But for Shane Falco and a mismatched crew of outsiders, it is the second chance they’ve waited their whole lives for.

36% Little Giants – Starring: Rick Moranis & Ed O’Neil

Ever since childhood, nerdy Danny O’Shea has felt inferior to his brother, Kevin, a former college football star. Danny runs a gas station, while Kevin coaches the local youth football team. When Kevin’s team rejects Danny’s daughter, Becky, because she’s a girl, Becky convinces her dad to start a rival team, though the city can support only one. To prove himself against his brother, Danny begins coaching his team of misfits for a playoff game.

Clearly movie critics don’t know what they’re talking about when it comes to football movies, because to me, these are all 90% or better!
