Title: Snoozer
Product review: The Replacements really isn't a bad movie. It's something of a cross between Necessary Roughness, Minor League, and Police Academy. It's totally predictable, and not very entertaining as a result. The reason formula movie like this keep coming out of Hollywood is that we keep going to see them, buying them, and renting them.All that holds it up are a few comedic scenes and the performances of the stars. John Madden and Pat Sumerall repeatedly announce the team's games, and they've got some great lines. Gene Hackman is under-utilized, but does a great job with his role. Keanu Reeves mails in another wooden performance and you're left wondering how he's ever cast in anything.The cinematography is great, but the camera work isn't challenging. There's nothing wrong with the video or audio-both are well produced, but this isn't a title that will show off your home theater system.
