Mike's Review: This movie is exactly what the title calls it. The whole day of the draft were trades are made and teams are forged. The first three quarters of the movie were pretty boring while they were trying to build up the back story and make it more suspenseful with time ticking away before it was actually draft time. Honestly I thought the movie would have been more entertaining, but it wasn't. If you do want to see it just watch the last 10 to 15 minutes of it. That will pretty much sum up the whole movie and save you 90 minutes of useless back story.
Best Scene: The last 10 minutes were pretty good.
Mike's Rating: DVD or cable. No reason for the big screen.
Bean's Review: Disappointing. Interesting premises, but the
movie just dragged. Kevin Costner’s character, Sandy Weaver, is the
Cleveland Brown’s general manager. And, the day of the football draft,
apparently, is supposedly the most stressful day
of his work year. If you are actually doing the job, I can see how
stressful it would be, but this was not passed on to the audience. I
was bored and annoyed.
With the intern, I think they were trying for
comic relief, but that did not come across to the audience, at all.
And the relationship between Weaver and Jennifer Garner’s role was just
blah.
That being said, I did root for the underdog
and was glad to see how Weaver picked him as his first draftee. About
the last 20 minutes of the movie were the best. I also thought Denis
Leary played his part well as a very exasperating
coach.
Best scene: When Vontae Mack was the first draft pick
Bean’s Rating: DVD, if you are a football fan, if not, do not bother
.
