Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
napierslogs Like the headlines out of the sports pages of The Onion, Onion SportsDome tackles all sports, athletes, and most notably sports shows, such as SportsCenter.Some stories aren't all that funny, some drag on way too long (but hey, even Saturday Night Live can't get that right), and some are missing the punch-line, but when they get it right, they get it right, and I'll be laughing for the full half-hour. If they get it right at the beginning, I'll be laughing through the ones they get wrong and won't even notice!I do recommend Onion SportsDome, but with a caveat, you have to be pretty well versed in current and past world of sports, and you have to forgive them when they're not funny, because it is just so worth it when they are funny.
