Storyline
Maverick old-guard coach Jimmy McGinty is hired in the wake of a players' strike to help the Washington Sentinels advance to the playoffs. But that impossible dream hinges on whether his replacements can hunker down and do the job. So, McGinty dusts off his secret dossier of ex-players who never got a chance (or screwed up the one they were given) and knits together a bad-dream team of guys who just may give the Sentinels their title shot.

Baltimore Sun
The story of the triumphant underdog is irresistible, even when every single plot point comes marching down Main Street.

Charlotte Observer
Sometimes seems longer than a rainy Super Bowl.

USA Today
One of those movies that goes for a jarringly new emotion every 30 seconds or so while the story's foundation is collapsing.

Christian Science Monitor
So vulgar and incoherent that even Hackman's gifts can't score a touchdown.
