Amazon.co.uk Review
The opening scenes of IThe Replacements/I see American football team, the Washington Sentinels, in dire straits. The players have walked out in a protest over pay at a vital point in the season, forcing the Sentinels' owner to bring veteran coach Jimmy McGinty (Gene Hackman) out of retirement to put together a replacement team. He assembles a group of oddballs and misfits including failed quarterback Shane Falco (Keanu Reeves), a boozing Welsh brawler (Rhys Ifans), a convicted former football pro, a deaf mute, a psychopathic ex-cop, a sumo wrestler and a kleptomaniac (Orlando Jones) who has trouble catching the ball. It is Falco's job to pull the team together and overcome his own problems to take the Sentinels to the playoffs. Howard Deutch (IPretty in Pink/I, IGrumpier Old Men/I) directs this variation on a losers-make-good storyline that runs like IPolice Academy/I on the playing field. Keanu plays the Steve Guttenberg role. Sandra Bullock clone Brooke Langton provides the all-too-predictable cheerleading love interest, while Rhys Ifans delivers light relief as the team's chain-smoking kicker. p B On the DVD:/B The main feature is presented in letterboxed widescreen format with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound in three languages (English, Spanish and Italian). There are optional subtitles in 20 different languages. Interactive menus are slickly designed like the yard markings on an American football field and provide access to a range of special features. As well as a theatrical trailer and commentary by director Howard Deutch, there is a 15-minute HBO special "The Making of the Replacements" hosted by Orlando Jones and a 10-minute "Actors Guide to Football" which provides a detailed look at the way the entirely authentic football sequences were planned and filmed. --IChris Campion/I

 Fun football fiesta! September 16, 2008
I bought this because of previous reviews. The story is predictable but none the worse for that. Reeves is always good value and his character is a decent enough chap (playing a similar role to that he made his own in 'Point Break'). The swearing means it will not be ok for the family to watch, not under twelves certainly. The soundtrack is really excellent and the quality of the DVD is fairly remarkable too. The football footage is beautiful. Some smiles and a few laughs too. Another one to keep and revisit. 7/10
A good all rounder August 15, 2007
I have watched a lot of american football films through the years. It is not a very well known film, but the cast is (which includes Keanu Reeves, Gene Hackman, Orlando Jones and Rhys Ifans). Keanu Reeves plays Shane Falco, a washed-out all-American QB who has the to guide a group of misfits as the pro's went on strike. Their goal is to make the playoffs and the road to it is full of mishaps, funnies etc etc, this film is not just for the American Football fans out there but ANYONE that likes a good all round film.
Absolutely great October 19, 2005
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I bought this DVD not knowing much about it but as Keanu was in it I thought give it a go. It was great, I watched it 3 times straight off and several times since. Plenty of action, laughs, great music from Rolling Stones and more. I know nothing about American Football but you don't need to understand the rules or enjoy the game to love this. I have leant or promised it to several friends, this is a great feelgood movie and when the credits roll you will have an enormous smile on your face and probably press replay as I did. I would give it 6 stars if I could.
Class American Football film August 29, 2005
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Have you ever wished that you had a second chance at becoming the sporting hero you always wanted to be!? Well these few men in the 'Replacements' had that chance. The film is about an american football team based in washington, and there top professional players going on strike because of there poor pay. Thats when old coach Jimmy McGinty (Gene Hackman)and flopped quarterback Shane Falco (Keanu Reeves) try and lead washington to the play-offs. This film is a great film with laughs,sport and a few good looking girls- a perfect blokes movie! This film may be a little unoriginal but does everything right. It has a good cast and doesn't concentrate wholely on American Football, as some other films do. A good alround film you could watch again and again!
Truely inspiring performance January 26, 2005
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I had never heard of this film before I purchased it. I was not sure what to expect from this, would have to say I was more than pleasantly suprised. This movie is meant to be set in the 80's when the professional footballers went on strike and they had to get in REPLACEMENTS. Well this movie is truely a hidden gem. From the hiring of the chearleaders to where they get the replacements from this will have yourself laughing from start to finish. The team building skills are a little unotherdox but works. pBuy this you will not regret it
