Plot:
THE TEXAS STATE ARMADILLOS are fourth down and nowhere-to-go after a corruption scandal nearly ends the football program. Now upstanding coach Ed Dennaro (Hector Elizondo) must put together a brand new team.

For the position of quarterback Gennaro recruits Paul Blake (Scott Bakula, 'Quantum Leap'), a 34-year-old former high school star whose field of dreams turned out to be the family farm. Blake still has the arm, but can he score with a team that includes a samurai lineman, a butterfingered receiver, and a Samoan strongman with eyes for the place-kicker (Kathy Ireland)?

Extras:
Scene Access
Closed Captioned


A favorite comedy of mine and even after a half dozen viewings now the laughs still hold up.

There have been a lot of misfit sports comedies in the past but this one sustains the laughs from start to finish. Larry Miller as the conniving school dean is a scene stealer! 

This is one of those movies I throw in when I want some laughs and it delivers every time.

The Master, a review by Antares

The Master (2012) 48/100 - It's a well shot film with many scenes looking exquisite, but PTA is laughing at anyone who thinks this is a masterpiece. I believe he decided to conduct his own little experiment and the audience was the case subject. Could he dangle pretty baubles, scene after scene after scene, with a haunting score, yet no cohesive storyline but because it's from PTA, would the critics and the hipsters lap it up like mother's milk? From the reviews I've read, it looks like the answer is... YES! There's one key moment in the film when you should have realized you were being had. It's when the son says...He's making it up as he goes along. It was Anderson telling you what he himself was doing.

What the color coding means...

Teal = Masterpiece
Dark Green = Classic or someday will be
Lime Green = A good, entertaining film
Orange = Average
Red = Cinemuck
Brown = The color of crap, which this film is
