    this film was huge with my friends upon its release but its themes were a little silly for me. really just a brainless football film for people who look for cheap tricks.

    Best football movie of all time, hands down! I still get misty eyed when I think of Mack.

    This is one of my favorite football theme movies of all time, i've seen it a couple of times although they removed a short scene from the original which i believe should of stayed in, but due to some fools attempting to do the same stunt it was cut.I'd recommend it.

    This one is an older movie but it gives a pretty startling view of college football, both the good and bad. The acting's pretty good and the characters are for the most part worth rooting for....

    This is a great football film. Has a good cast and a good story. The acting is great but if your not a football fan then this movie may bore you.
