Description
Underdogs become top dogs in this fun-filled, rough-and-fumble comedy centred around the NFL player strikes of 1987.
Keanu Reeves plays Shane Falco, a washed-out all-American QB who guides a team of misfits assembled by veteran coach Jimmy McGinty (
Gene Hackman) to replace striking pro players. A motormouth receiver (
Orlando Jones), a merciless linebacker (
Jon Favreau), a nicotine-wired kicker (
Rhys Ifans) and more line up against Falco for a drive to the playoffs. For sultry support, there's cheerleader Annabelle Farrell (
Brooke Langton) and her ex=stripper squad. "Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory lasts forever, Falco tells his team. It's a game plan that works to perfection.
