Horrible watch, won't watch again, and do warn against watching.

As the best example of signs a movie is bad, I'll mention some of my favorite things:

I'm happy to see the beautiful Noureen DeWulf, but still mad she wasn't Jasmine.
Stacy Keibler makes a surprise appearance.
Melora Hardin look great in this.
Wishing Brooke Nevin was Ashley Benson made me think of better movies.

Honestly, Frank Caliendo was the funniest part of the movie, just by doing John Madden impersonations.

David Koechner and Carl Weathers added nothing to the movie, Shannon Woodward's confused lesbian scene was honestly funnier than the rest of their performances put together.

MAYBE if you just LOVE parodies, AND MAYBE if you just love football, then this might be bearable to watch.

It just goes too far out of its way to try to make jokes that don't land.

**Worthy:**Unlike the anal retentive clown shoe that reviewed this in February most likely from his moms basement, this movie is worthy of a view. If you like Naked Gun, Scary Movie, Not Another Teenage Movie, or any other kind of spoof then this is worth a watch.

**3 Reasons To Watch**

1. Relentlessly spoofs popular sports movies.
2. David Koechner as Lambeau Fields? I'm in. He's one of those underrated comedic actors of our time.
3. It has Stacey Keibler and Lawrence Taylor cameos. Enough said.

> Coach's Daughter: I wanna have what you and mom have! Coach Lambeau Fields: Herpes?

**How I Rated It:**It's a solid 2.5, which 1) I'm a hard ass and 2) It's an average rating. Doesn't mean you shouldn't watch it at least once to laugh at.
