Critic Reviews:
- " A scathing yet comical take on the big business of football. " – Tom Meek (Cambridge Day)
- " Retains enough of the original novel's authenÂticity to deliver strong, if brutish, entertainment. " – Richard Schickel (TIME Magazine)
- " The best football movie ever made. " – Robert Roten (Laramie Movie Scope)
