The Replacements (2000, DVD)

Simply Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The movie was great...a lot of humor....the DVD was used and was still in excellent viewing condition....Seller never left feedback....

From the day the first studio opened in Hollywood in a former farmer's field, there were more people who wanted to be in the movie business than there were jobs available. Today, nearly a century later, this situation remains unchanged. Surely thousands of talented and creative people have been turned away by now, yet still the movie business seems to have more than its fair share of incompetents. Perhaps it is true that what the mediocre do best is to defend their turf.
Take The Replacements - please! If someone hadn't apparently cast a spell on Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman which caused them accept roles in this effort, then it would have no reason at all to exist.

The Washington Sentinels football team is having an okay season until its league has a players' strike with only four games left until the playoffs. The gruff old owner [Jack Warden] begs his team's former coach, Jimmy McGinty [Gene Hackman], to work for him again. His idea is to finish the season with replacement players, aka scabs. McGinty happens to have a list in his head of potential players, most of whom have missed their chance at glory and have dropped off the face of the Earth. One of these is Shane Falco [Keanu Reeves], an ex-college quarterback whose former team suffered the worst defeat in Sugar Bowl history. Shane now scraps barnacles off boats for a living. Other replacements include a sumo wrestler, a soccer player, a deaf-mute and a guy who is fresh out of prison. McGinty has one week to whip these men into shape. For some reason, the cheerleaders have gone missing, too, and it is up to Annabelle [Brooke Langton] to recruit new ones. Meanwhile, the striking players have nothing better to do than to hassle the replacements.

I do not expect a movie always to mirror real life. Still

I don't know why I like this file so much. I really am not a football fan, never watch or go to games. This film comforts me. maybe is is the bonding, the redemption or simply the human interaction, but I like to watch this and it helps me relax, like an evening with a good friend, or like comfort foods. Try it, you may just grow to be a friend too.

I WANTED TO SEE THE UNCUT VERSION. IT WAS FILMED HERE IN BALTIMOREAND I WANTED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY SCEENES DELEATED FROM THE TV VEERSION

Love this movie, very funny and entertaining. We have seen it numerous times and decided to buy it.

The story is very entertaining, the acting solid, and the characters top-notch. I have seen the show several times, and always enjoy it immensely, whic is why I decided to buy it.

It's not a deep movie, but I could watch it over and over and laugh. I would love to have the soundtrack.

The seller sold about 150 items in April, maybe one in three were received! sSeller stopped communicating and her phone is disconnected! SAVE your money, and buy elsewhere!

What can I say, but just ruly entertaining from beginning to end. Would recommend to anyone and enjoy it just as much as I have.

I really like sports-related movies, especially football. The Replacements is one of my all-time favorite football movies!

Fun film with great characters. Easy to watch with a "ton" of hysterically funny scenes. A movie that is worth owning, because it is just fun to see the many zany scenes again and again.

A fun movie about a group of replacement players during the strike. How this band of misfits band together and through it all, learn to play as a team.
And check out the cheerleaders.

It's not the type of movie that will win awards but it was fun. A group of quirky underdogs replacing spoiled pro football players makes up this inspirational tale. You can't help but want to see them succeed, plus you get to watch Keanu Reaves.

A seriously funny romp into the world of Pro football, Pro sports strikes, and rooting for the underdog.

Gene Hackman and Keanu Reeves are a great team. If you like "The longest yard", or "North Dalls 40", this should be next on your list!

Great football movie! Great take on the strike. Keanu was good in this. Gene Hackman plays a great part as well.

funny serious everything all together, just a really good movie. i would highly recomend it for anyone.

I had seen this movie before and wanted to get for my personal collection. It's agreat fast action movie.

I did not know the rules of American football, but watching this movie I feel like learning them. The team has nothing to lose and continues to fight to their limits , without expecting to win or to be recompensated. I can rarely see this in real life, though.

I bought this movie as a gift for my sister. Its her favorite movie and was impossible to find in any store. The dvd was brand new and sealed. The price was excellent and I was very happy to have found it.

Keanu Reeves as a has been football player is perfect in this part. Gene Hackman recruits a group of players to make up a team during a football strike. The team bonds together when they are all thrown in jail and you've gotta see when they all get up and dance! It's not your typical sports movie, but you'll love it. Oh, and be sure to watch the cheerleaders when they do one of their naughty routines that throws the players on the other team for a loop! Very funny . . . see it.

This movie is the best. I have watched it so many times that I pretty much have it memorized. I highly recommend people to watch it if they are looking for a good movie.

I liked just about everything in this movie. It was great how the bully got his and the good guy gets the girl. Some of the cheerleading dances were a bit too much, but went with the story. Great movie! Highly recommend!!

My Wife loves the movie so I bought one and she watches it all the time. Thank you for the movie. Now it's quite around my house.For now.
