Here we go with yet another review of another crappy movie. This time, it's The Comebacks.
This is a spoof of all the inspirational sports films. Some of them include Rocky, Invincible, Radio, Dodgeball (that's inspirational?), and Field of Dreams. There are a bunch of others but I don't feel like naming them off. None of it is funny though unless you like really juvenile humor.
The film follows a loser coach by the name of Lambeau Fields (David Koechner, aka Champ from Anchorman) who decides to take a bunch of loser college kids and put together a football team. The coach is quite possibly the worst coach ever and hopefully, he can get this team in shape and prove to be a great one.
From the producers of Wedding Crashers comes one of the dumbest comedies ever made. I don't see how people can continue to make dumbass spoof films. The Scary Movie series sucks. And then came all those other ones such as Date Movie, Not Another Teen Movie, Epic Movie, and sometime next year comes a film that spoofs 300 called Meet The Spartans (trailer for it right before this movie). Why can't someone just go down to Hollywood and tell them personally that we don't need more of this bullshit? I think the last good spoof film was Hot Shots: Part Deux. And then after that, the genre pretty much died. Mainly because directors nowadays seem to rely on nothing but potty humor and stuff that will only make kids between the ages of 7 and 16 laugh.
To tell you the truth, I was glad I got to watch this one and not the remake of The Ten Commandments. Honestly, if you only had two films to choose from, would you rather sit through this movie or an 90 minute animated musical remake of a classic film? Yeah I thought so.
Rating: 0 stars (out of 4) (I can't believe we got this piece of crap and The Ten Commandments and not The Assassination of Jesse James (I'll probably go watch that in Paradise) or Things We Lost in the Fire. Hopefully next week.
PS. I hate Fox now more than ever. Ever since they made the dumb decision to cancel Arrested Development, Will Arnett has been in nothing but crappy films such as this one, Let's Go To Prison and The Brothers Solomon. And I also hate whoever said it was okay to use Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" for a montage sequence in this film.
P.S.S When the end credits started, the first one said Directed by Tom Brady. I was laughing so hard when that came up. And then I found out it's not the Patriots QB Tom Brady. Instead it's some dumbass who felt he could be cool and have the same name as a famous football player.
