Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Too much of everything
Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Wasted talent and gags. Great for film class on how to squander talent. Should have been played really dry not like this.
The Comebacks (2007): Dir: Tom Brady / Cast: David Koechner, Carl Weathers, Matthew Lawrence, Brooke Nevin, Melora Hardin: When asked to make better films, this is not the ideal comeback sought after by film fans. Idea regards those whom are seen as not good enough but are destine for victory. Unfortunately this film isn't good enough and it isn't destine for anything other than a dusty shelf life. Director Tom Brady goes after sports films with funny opening background footage but from there it is all down hill. David Koechner plays this terrible coach who struggles in balancing work and family. Koechner is a funny guy but picked the wrong film to be presented as a lead. The ending is so predictable that it might have been funnier had the coach continued to fail. Carl Weathers narrates and appears later in the film to prove that his career has come down to this. Matthew Lawrence plays the son of a drag queen. That shouldn't bother him near as much as the story he is involved in. Brooke Nevin plays the coach's daughter and her bra resembles footballs therefore Lawrence will be able to fondle them (excuse me), fumble them. Melora Hardin is also featured as Koechner's wife and the role is about as broad as a deflated football. Making fun of sports films is a plus with reasonable production but when it is as boring as those films then a comeback is out of the question. Score: 5 / 10
Tom Hank's BIG beyond weak.......but this movie isn't.I'd like for someone to explain to me, what's so horrible about this movie? It's a perfect cast. Hilarious movie. Has enormous amount of replay value. Oh I forgot, Tom Hanks, isn't in it.Movies are to entertain an audience so, people don't turn into weak minded drug addicts or into alcoholics. If something can put a smile on my face and make me laugh, most likely it'll make me "primative", because the movie, didn't make much money or have big name stars in it.Someone with no funny bone in their body or who doesn't like women, wouldn't like this movie. It's a "feel good" movie, when you want to "break something", but have a positive mind to cut this on your DVD player.Pure Classic, enough said.
This movie is a nonsense/spoof comedy, in the lines of The Airplane or Naked Gun, but it doesn't even come close to this two, because it lacks originality and a little more intelligent jokes, rather then just throwing you with the same old easy jokes.You can figure out some references to other movies, from the top of my head I identified Dodgeball and Rocky, so you can have some fun with that, trying to find out what movies are spoofed.The movie also offers you an occasional laugh, but nothing that can cause you injuries, thus nothing really funny.I liked the character IPod in some ways (even though some of the jokes with him are standard comedy 101).I think this movie (and like most of nonsense/spoof comedy) depends on the mood you are in, so if you think you will laugh to any joke watch this movie. If you are in a serious mood forget about this (re)watch The Airplane instead, it will definitely make you laugh
