The premise outline of this movie has been done before. In 1999 a school football team had a chance to break a 50 year old drought and win the Turkey Bowl. But it snowed and the game never got finished. Why it didn't get rescheduled is a reality point the movie ignores for the team's to reunite in 2019 (I guess) and finish what they started. Only thing is the star player has run off to be a big shot in Chicago and is about to be engaged to a presidential campaigners daughter. He is tricked into returning home to play the game he has no interest in, nor wants to return home. Once there, he rekindles with his buddies, teammates and old girlfriend.... you can probably fill in how it all ends.
The comedy tries to be a bit of Animal House and borrows a lot of the same story from The Waterboy and just about every other underdogs football movie. The plot has no originality, and the outcomes are foreseen a mile away.
However, there is a couple of laughs, has a good pace, and doesn't leave you bored. It's ok for one viewing, but it has no rewatch value.
