I saw the movie & liked it as well.  It's football.  I think some of it is probably more accurate than we think (GMs doing what their gut tells them rather than what is smart to do) & some of it is just Hollywood stuff.  Only complaint I had was my wife came with & kept asking me what things meant (what is a 1st round draft pick; how can they trade them; why was that a bad deal; etc; etc.)...she watches games with me, but is not really a football fan.  I finally had to tell her I would explain things after the movie & she stopped doing it.  ;)   I enjoyed it more than any chick-flick or movies I go to watch with my kids.  If you have a girl, spouse or kids, you may appreciate that fact that this is a movie for the football-lover. 

 

It was a really fine movie it's no money ball but i liked it. If you're like pretty much everyone here and form your opinions based on what others think because you want to fit in or be cool then you wont like it but if your a movie person and like the nfl but know that its a fuging movie and not real life you will highly enjoy this flick. it's very accurate in a sense to what FANS believe nfl gms do on draft day. it's not a 100% portrayal of what they go through but its a good start. So  if your willing to stop being cool according to the hippie hivemind that is carolina huddle then i recommend going to see it.

Have you see "Robin Hood, Men in Tights"?  If so, Kerry Elwes (I think that is how you spell it)  the actor who played Robin Hood in that movie, takes a cheap shot IN THE MOVIE at Costner.  He looks at the camera and says something like "This Robin Hood has a consistent British accent"

 

The Costner movie is also the only time I have seen Morgan Freeman play someone other than Morgan Freeman in a movie.  He has an accent.

 

The movie is laughably bad--but when I was five, I loved some crap.  Still do.

 

Hope this doesn't ruin it for you

 

I have to admit one of my favorites from when I was a kid was "Escape from New York". It had hilarious villains including the 7-up guy as I knew him (Isaac Hayes?), Angel Eyes (Lee Van Clief), this bizarre dude with a weird laugh, and some giant dude that gets a bat stuck with nails in the back of his head.

How could you go wrong?

 

Best movie line: "The President's not here, someone's had him for dinner"

 

 

 

Well I went back and watched it recently and I couldnt believe how incredibly corny and over the top it was. In fact just about every 80's movie I remember was the same.

Didn't realize there was so much Kevin Costner hate out there.  Geez.

 

As a sports fans I find it hard not to like him.  "Field of Dreams, "Bull Durham" "For the Love of the Game" "Tin Cup"... these are some of my favorite sports movies of all-time.

 

"Dances With Wolves" was great,  Wyatt Earp was pretty good, but it was just completely undermined by the far superior "Tombstone" being released right before it.

 

"Hatfield's and McCoy's" was pretty awesome.

 

Throw in other great movies like "Untouchables" "No Way Out" and "JFK". 

 

Almost everyone has some bad movies, even the great ones like Tom Hanks *cough* "The LadyKillers"
