Corey R Pretty lame movie, and yet somehow I wanted to finish it. It seems like whoever wrote it wanted it to be a gritty, "Ballers" realistic style movie with hard nosed businessmen trading in flesh for high stakes under the biggest spotlight, but it ended up feeling like a VERY PG-13 compromise. I guess that was necessary if it were to be done with a Roger Goodell cameo and the NFL's blessing. It's also a touch off-putting to see Jennifer Garner's by this time increasingly "worked on" face struggling to emote. The whole thing felt like a bowling game with bumpers on. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/11/25 Full Review Kyle G Chemistry between Costner and Jennifer Garner was non-existent, lots of cheesy moments with humor falling flat, and the stakes felt inflated. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Jedi D Sure, it's unrealistic, but it's a damn fun movie to watch if you're a sports fan. I would've given it 4 stars, but P Diddy is in it. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/04/25 Full Review Phil P As a football fan and someone who loves pro sports draft days, I have to say this film was a lot of fun. It did a great job capturing the twists, turns, and overall vibe of a real draft day. **Spoilers below** That said, the NFL fan in me couldn’t help but cringe at some of the decisions made by these managers. Trading everything for the first pick, only to draft a player who was considered a middle-rounder on draft day? And then there’s the Seahawks (in the movie), who land three first-round picks in exchange for the top pick, only to trade them all back to the same team—and had to throw in another player—when that hyped prospect, Bo Callahan, was dropping so much? It just doesn’t add up. Callahan's value was tanking hard, and especially knowing Cleveland didn’t want him (if they did, they would have taken him at #1), the Seahawks should’ve had all the leverage. (And asking for a kick returner in the deal as if that’s some sort of blue-chip asset?) I can’t see any GM making such a dumb move just because the fans are grumpy. The logic is definitely off. That said, it was still fun, intriguing, and the acting was great. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/03/25 Full Review Audience Member Surprisingly gripping for someone who not only does not follow American Football but who has never seen a game played. Costner bounces from problem to problem in both his personal and work life; the film deals with his search for solutions and he ends up pleasing everyone - even himself. Fade to satisfaction. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Audience Member Take it for for what it is...it's entertaining. It's a popcorn movie...don't take it seriously. Agree it is ridiculous and unbelievable....it's a movie and what it does well is excite and entertain. It does a good job doing that and worth a watch.
