Movie Reviews

CinemaSense.Com - 9/10 by Cornell & PetricelliFor a movie as predictable as The Replacements, it offers an astonishingly funny, well crafted story line capturing the visceral pounding of football.
Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Kirk HoneycuttThe film is a smooth and polished product.
culturevulture.net - 8/10 by Bob AulertA shabby patchwork of a film, one that lip-synchs it's way through an old and timeworn situation without any attempt to add something new or interesting.
Old School Reviews - 8/10 by John A. Nesbitaverage lighthearted entertainment ... to be queued up more than normal in the coming months with a potential NFL lockout and strike looming
Mr. Showbiz - 7/10 by Larry TerenziAn agreeably and unapologetically lightweight late-summer blockbuster.
Lyles' Movie Files - 7/10 by Jeffrey LylesThere 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.
Rolling Stone - 7/10 by Peter TraversAs obvious as they get, and it wears its message on its bloodied jersey.
Spirituality and Practice - 6/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatHoward Deutch keeps this archetypal Hollywood movie humming along with predictable comic bits and the antics of its colorful characters.
Reel.com - 6/10 by Tor ThorsenDirector Howard Deutch drops the ball, trying to pass off a derivative hodgepodge of clichés as escapist entertainment.
New York Times - 6/10 by Elvis MitchellThis negligible comedy might as well come with a bouncing ball so members of the audience can recite the dialogue along with the actors.
