Varsity Blues

I am so sick of hollywood making money on terrible movies. I am especially sick of previews and tv ads which used to just show the best scenes in a sorry movie, now showing scenes that never appear in the movie. What's up with that? Maybe Clinton and his crowd need to slap some new regulations on these hucksters. I never saw the scene where the cheerleader asked for her butt to be autographed, or where the teen * says that sex is better than football. Do not pay to see this sorry excuse for a movie.

"Varsity Blues" is a very entertaining comedy-drama from director (and former star of TV's "Head of the Class") Brian Robbins. James Van Der Beek of TV's "Dawson's Creek" is terrific in his first big movie role as Mox. The thing that works best in "Varsity Blues" are the performances by the young stars. Van Der Beek gets good support from Paul Walker, Ron Lester, Amy Smart, Ali Larter, and especially Scott Caan. This is a very good movie about high school football, even though some of the comic parts of the film are hard to believe. But who cares? Surely a must-see for teenagers and young adults. *** (out of four)

"Varsity Blues" is my all-time favorite movie. It is the best football/drama film ever made! The film was dramatic and funny. James Van Der Beek did a great job as Jonothan Moxon. As well did Jon Voight as the mean and rough coach Bud Kilmer, Amy Smart as Mox's girlfriend Jules, Paul Walker as West Cannan's star quarterback Lance, Scott Caan as the trouble-making Charlie Tweeder, Ali Larter as Lance's cheerleading girlfriend Darcy , and Ron Lester as the fun and friendly Billy Bob. This is a great film! I like it so much, that I bought the film on DVD. This is one of the best films and I think that it's great! I HIGHLY recommend this film to anybody. I give this film a great 10 out of 10!!!! :)

The script was horrible, the characters undeveloped and the ending was not climatic. Overall one of the worst movies I've seen this year. I did have an inkling that it would be, but I went ahead and wasted money on it. Texans are not quite as disgusting as this movie makes them out to be.

I'd been wanting to see this movie for awhile. Jon Voight played an excellent part as the bad coach. My full star tally would be 7 1/2 but I rounded up this time since it doesn't allow for halves. :) I would note though, the whipped cream incident did make me hungry for a moment.
