4.0 out of 5 stars Made for sports movie fans. Hilarious., February 14, 2011
By 
I love sports movies. Good, bad, or indifferent. The Comebacks is no doubt made by people who share the same passion. Other than perhaps Brian's Song, this movie lampoons every other football movie ever made (and many other sports movies). The list is impressive; this is what I saw on the first run:

Radio
Invincible
The Longest Yard
Lucas
Field of Dreams
Friday Night Lights
Wildcats
Rudy
Gridiron Gang
Waterboy
Necessary Roughness
Remember the Titans
Bend it Like Beckham
Mighty Ducks
Dodgeball
Rocky
Hoosiers
Drumline
Coach Carter

The fun in watching this movie lies not in the performances or the script - even if you've never seen the movie you already know it from beginning to end - the joy is that each ridiculous cliché is lovingly embraced and then turned on its head (the only one that didn't work was the insertion of Frank Caliendo and his tired impersonations). Included with the clichés is an great cast and an awesome number of cameos from Stacy Keibler, Will Arnett, Dax Shepard, and Bradley Cooper. As absurd as this sounds, The Combacks is perfect for not just sports and dumb comedy fans, but all movie-goers. With tons of homoerotic references (that somehow don't distract) that many see in football, and a three-way love triangle there is something for every fan. If that's not enough to bring everyone together, then Journey will surely unite us all. Don't stop believin', it worked for the Untouchables.

4.0 out of 5 stars every sports cliche!, March 25, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
a very dumb, but also very funny movie that turns over every sports cliche. not for everyone and it doesn't set the bar very high, but--made us laugh.
