i have my guilty pleasures that i dont mind watching. but this movie i cannot stand. i cringe while watching it and i can never watch the whole thing or more than 15 mins for that matter.

why do i stop to watch for couple mins you ask? its cuz nothing is on tv at the time. and its just mindless channel surfing/watching.

why do i come here to say how awful this movie is? cuz i can and cuz i want to express my hate for this movie.

poor writing poor acting poor casting poor everything. and no its not keanu who ruins the movie. i like bill and teds and maybe even sweet november (more for charlize than anything). i dont think any actor would have saved this awful movie.

You're entitled to your opinion.

I guess to each his own, but I think the casting was great. Hackman was perfect. The players were terrific.

Remember Rabbit Ears with tin foil?

I'm sure all those involved with the movie would love to hear your insightful critiques. My opinion however, is that you can shove it up your ass. me and my dad have always had a great time watching this movie. It's easy to fall behind the protagonists...their struggle becomes your struggle. You clearly don't hate this movie, but the whole genre of underdog films.

It's the only movie I've ever walked out of.

I can watch this every time it is on. I love it.

To the guy who said that this is the only movie that you ever walked out of. You obviously have never seen "Anchorman". I would rather watch paint dry than that movie. Instead of giving poor-behaving inmates solitary confinement; they should make them watch "Anchorman".

The Replacements is good; Anchorman is unreal!
Skyrockets in the night
Afternoon Delight!

I haven't seen Anchorman, I'm not a huge Will Farrell fan. The absolutely worst movie I have ever seen is "Ishtar". Fortunately for us we rented in and turned it off after the first 15 minutes.

Ha-ha! Ishtar's reputation has always caused me to avoid it. Talking about bad movies that actually tried to masquerade as something good, one that always sticks in my memory and I've never been able to finish was Hudson Hawk! It was abysmal.

"To the guy who said that this is the only movie that you ever walked out of. You obviously have never seen "Anchorman"."

That's me and I have seen Anchorman. I don't know why that movie was arbitrarily picked though.

My issue with The Replacements isn't with the execution of the film itself or the token signs of a bad movie. In actuality, I can enjoy poorly made films sometimes because I'm amused at the incompetence itself. At the same time, I can see how sitting through a explicitly badly made movie can be torture.

That wasn't the issue here. The film had quality ingredients and there wasn't really much material where I could laugh at how bad the movie was. Taken as a whole, though, I can't help but chuckle when I remember my friend and I just giving up on watching more of this movie because it was literally wasting our lives. It isn't something where I can go into specifics and list things that were done wrong, because I wouldn't have much. It was like listing to someone give a speech for two hours who manages to sound worthy of giving a speech for two hours but, beyond that, offering nothing. It's like eating something that looks like a hamburger, but is made out some sort of gelatin that has no flavor. You can't say it tastes bad because it has no taste in the general sense nor can you say it tastes good. You can only say that it looks like a hamburger.

Let me introduce you to Zardoz.

Call me Snake.

[–] Bobbin-Threadbare 10 years ago

Zardoz is a bad movie, but not remotely in the same way this is.

What are your thoughts on Equilibrium? I forced myself to sit through that load of crap because I thought it might get better.

[–] elduderino09 8 years ago

Well, I pretty much don't join clubs. Keeping that in mind, I'd be willing to be the head of a 20 million I hate Will Ferrell anti-fan club. Course, he still has a ways to go to be more moronic than Adam Sandler.

I admit it's a guilty pleasure of mine, but it might be my GUILTIEST pleasure as far as films/music go. I don't know why I like it, because it's such a mess, and so corny. I would give it a pass if it were made in the 80's or early 90's, but this was 2000. The humor and corniness were about a decade old already. The music was dated too. Between the music and the tone/humor it was almost like they filmed this in '94 and didn't release it for 6 years. The soundtrack was mostly a mix of stuff that was probably on Jock Jams '93 or something like that, and The Rolling Stones 1994 Voodoo Lounge album. And to make matters worse they just lazily stole from pretty much every sports comedy of the 80's and 90's. It's just one cliche after another. So I don't know why I like it. I don't love it or anything, I like it just enough to spend less than $10 on the Blu Ray. But guilty enough about it that I actually considered not placing it on the shelf with the rest of my Blu Rays, but I did.

Did they want it to be this bad? They could have done it differently --and still a comedy-- and not made it ridiculous.

I'm sure Gene got a big check. Keanu too. The others minimum wage.

She is a lot like you, the dangerous type...

I watch it because in it Brooke Langton is one of the best looking and desirable females ever in a film.

Watching it now.
