      41% 108 Reviews Tomatometer 66% 100,000+ Ratings Audience Score 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.

      The cliched characters and obvious outcome make all the fun and excitement amount to nothing.

      Regal R 85/100 - great film, keanu reeves and gene hackman are quite a duo. the synergy between all the characters peppered with some good clean humor makes this film gold. a classic. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review Russ H Funny but not a good movie CP Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Vicki B Wonderful, feel-good movie. Keanu Reeves is perfect for it. Loved the humor. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review Richard F Yeah, it's somewhat predictable, but the characters pull it off. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/15/23 Full Review Test T This was just too shallow to keep my attention. It's like watching a series of sports montage clips, interspersed with some occasional random violence. The fact that I know very little about American Football just added to the frustration as I tried to figure out what was going on during the games. There's lots of team infighting too, both on and off the field which just adds to the confusion. I had hoped that Gene Hackman and Keanu Reeves might make it watchable, and they do try, but ultimately the story is just not good enough. Thinking positively, I did like the soundtrack, and the cheerleaders who provided a much needed dose of glamour and humour to the otherwise testosterone overdosed mayhem. As you may have realised, I did not like this movie, and would struggle to recommend it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/23 Full Review James B very funny good football movie keanu reeves and gene hackman are great.

      Nell Minow Common Sense Media Lightweight but likeable football story. Rated: 4/5 Dec 29, 2010 Full Review Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle Rated: 3/5 Mar 10, 2003 Full Review Globe and Mail Rated: 2/4 Mar 22, 2002 Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files There isn't a football cliche "The Replacements" doesn't tackle, but its all-star cast and easygoing approach make it one of the more enjoyable recent sports comedies.
