Review of Varsity Blues

Varsity Blues (1999)
6/10
Should have skipped the football parts
29 January 2003
This movie could have been much better had it not been for the pathetic football scenes where you know that they're going to win a game against all odds. A boring cliche. The sex parts were much better and reminded me of "Porky's". They were funny and sexy and could have held the movie together, putting the football stuff in the background story, perhaps making Jon Voight's character just an annoying football coach who would constantly be a victim of their pranks. Instead we're left with a would-be smart movie that just doesn't have the impact it could have, because it tries to show us how football coaches tyrannize their players. Van Der Beek isn't very believable, but the female actresses damn sure make up for it.
