Movie Reviews of Second String
Movie Review: I'll probably sell mine
Summary: 2 Stars
First off, I have to say this is not a horrible film but there are many other football films out there that are waaaaay better. One I can easily name is Friday Night Lights. That one is an underrated classic. Second String, on the other hand, has so many sports cliches (the kicker with no confidence getting it back on Super Bowl, the tired run down player who wants to show he can win, the talented quarterback nobody gave a chance, the arrogant quarterback who doesn't care about anyone, the ruthless coach who doesn't believe in his player until the very last moment, the..okay I think you all get the point), that it practically ruins the whole flow of the film. Gil Bellows is fine but has no screen charisma. I think it would have been better for him to be cast as a coach and have Eads as the quarterback struggling to get his self-esteem back. Jon Voight looks like he's played one too many control freak coaches (Varsity Blues anyone?) and looks like he doesn't want to be in the film half the time. Anyway, unless you're a fan of one of the actors in the film (I love Eads that's why I got it) this film may not last long in your DVD collection.
