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. Read More Read Less

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. Rated: 7/10 Sep 25, 2015 Full Review John A. Nesbit Old School Reviews average lighthearted entertainment ... to be queued up more than normal in the coming months with a potential NFL lockout and strike looming Rated: C Jun 24, 2011 Full Review Hollywood.com Rated: 3/5 Nov 20, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

marie p J’ai adoré ce film avec Keanu Reeves, ce film a été un succès parmi tant d’autres. Un super classique mais toujours agréable à regarder. Merci Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/03/24 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
