Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

dstephens-33229 'Varsity Blues' is a fantastic movie! It really gets you thinking about who is really the protagonist and who is really the antagonist. Sad ending though...really installs sadness for the coach at the end as well as the realisation that he is not the bad guy.

donaldricco "They put them wieners on the glass at the Alano Club? No good." Nope, that's no good, but this movie is pretty darn good! I don't think it mixes the drama and slap-shticky comedy well, but I did end the movie with a smile on my face, so that works for me. I'm not a big fan of the Beek, but I am a huge fan of the whipped cream! And Billy Bob's recipe for breakfast - waffles dipped in peanut butter with a maple syrup chaser! Go Coyotes!

Kyle Hodgdon "Varsity Blues" is much better than you would expect it to be. It is billed terribly as nothing more than MTV's idea of attractive people all acting like stuck-up bimbos and macho jerks. Surprisingly, this is not what you get from this film.Instead you get a great football movie with some very memorable scenes. The shining moment is the halftime showdown between the coach and team. That scene is very nicely done and a great climax to everything that led up to it.Jon Voight certainly helps the film as he is magnificent in his role as the coach. The rest of the cast is not too shabby in their respective roles either.I was split as whether to give this a six or a seven, and I did settle on six, because the script is definitely familiar and some of what happens is unrealistic and cheesy. All in all this is a fun movie that tells a good story and does have some genuine emotion. Definitely worth a watch.

syleiling I just watched this movie for the first time a couple of weeks ago. This is due to my very recent interest in anything Paul Walker. Shallow, I know.I am not a football fan, nor am I an athlete, but I found the game scenes fascinating. I usually skip the other parts just to watch the game scenes. And soundtrack is awesome.I don't like cerebral or artsy movies. I need to rest my brain after work. So its rare that I watch any of those Oscar-type movies. This movie is perfect for what I need.The storyline has been used before. But I like those kinds of story anyway. I like seeing the good guys win, even if its just in the movies.
