Maddox G. Absolutely spectacular sports drama that is rare compared to the other popular sports movies, most of which are comedies. This shows the surreality of a young quarterback replacing an older quarterback and the drama and the intricate dynamics in running a football franchise. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/21/25 Full Review Mike b If you’ve come for Pacinos speech at the end fine, but the rest of this on revisiting years after my first watch is a narrative mess. There are some reasonable performances turned in but the characters all have the character drive of a coked up after party. Character development is a flip of a coin in any given scene until the inevitable “now we learn how to win together moments”. It’s thrown about with cliche drugs and violence with no respect to the realism of the sport. The most credit you can give it is drawing attention to concussions before the NFL ever did. If you want some popcorn with handheld camera work that’s both shaken and stirred, enjoy yourself. But I’d recommend this one as a background film at a tailgater at best. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/19/25 Full Review Matt O “Loud, wild, and full of moments” – 3.5/5 Any Given Sunday throws everything at the screen, big speeches, hard hits, locker room drama, egos clashing, and honestly, a lot of it works. It’s intense and gritty, with some unforgettable scenes and one of the most fired-up locker room speeches in movie history. The football action is chaotic but exciting, and the cast is stacked; Al Pacino, Jamie Foxx, LL Cool J, Cameron Diaz, and more. Everyone brings something to the table. That said, the movie can feel a little all over the place at times. It’s long, it’s loud, and it definitely tries to do a little too much. Still, for a football fan, it’s worth the ride. It’s messy, but in a way that kinda fits the world it’s showing. Not perfect, but definitely entertaining. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review Doug R I am surprised by the poor ratings from both professional critics and viewers, and agree with one of the positive critics that this by far the best football movie ever. It is not the typical rah rah sports movie by any means. Rather, it captures the entire NFL experience and culture perfectly - including all the good, the bad, and the ugly - which is why the NFL was very unhappy with it. The cast is star-studded, including some high profile ex-players (Jim Brown, Lawrence Taylor), and the performances are all fabulous. The strained relationships between Al Pacino (head coach) Cameron Diaz (team owner), and Jamie Fox (new upstart quarterback) are masterfully developed. Similar to Oliver Stone’s “JFK” this movie presents the viewer with a firehose of characters and scenes, but all are cohesive and coherent, and the surprise ending, revealed during the movie credits, ties it all up perfectly. Highly recommended!!
