This movie was ok. That's about it. I really don't like football, but I put that aside when I saw this movie. The actual on-the-field scenes looked to be nothing more than a way to hook jocks and the like to the soundtrack, every 10 minute game scene had about 6 different songs playing in the background. A lot of odd cinematics and nothing but football propaganda. Off the field, it was all politics and business and personal lives of all the players/managers. Far too much yelling, un-needed shower room scenes (we _really_ didn't need to see all those penii). If you're a jock or a football fanatic you might like this movie. If you've got some brains and taste in movies you won't think much of this.

Oldskool at its best.

This movie is a classic. I had wanted to see it when I was younger, but of course I wasn't allowed to. I saw this a few months ago and it was even better now. This is one of Chris Rock's best performances, he nails the role of a rapper perfectly (not to mention his costume...). The movie was one of the first to feature parody raps and they are great, considering this film was Pre-Insane Clown Posse and the like. "Sweat from my balls" still makes me laugh every time I hear it.
Some might say this does not transfer to the new rap school, but It definitely does. If you were once a fan of oldschool rap or are still a fan of rap, this movie is definitely worth checking out.
