First of all....I really liked it. Well it's about time we had a football version of "Hoosiers". Okay, it may not be exactly like Hoosiers, but it is a great film about high school football. If you have ever read the book, "Friday Night Lights" about football in Odessa, TX, this is the closest you will see to a movie version of that book. We hear so many stories of how some parents relive their lives through their sons/daughters sports accomplishments, some good stories and a few sad ones....this movie plays upon the sad ones. While it is a "feel good" movie of youth rising up and taking control of their own lives, it is also a film that can be used to keep some parents and coaches in check. Bottom line....simply, you will enjoy this film.

This film is a *HUGE* rip off.

Teen flicks are always the same thing. Dead Man on Campus and Can't Hardly Wait. Now this movie. I think you should see this movie on the big screen if you like both The Waterboy and Can't Hardly Wait.You might enjoy this movie. But if you enjoy movies like The Godfather, Titanic , and Good Will Hunting. I want to tell you this STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE AT ALL COSTS.

If you like the movie Clueless, I will tell you this Wait for this movie to come out on Video, You might be upset for spending all of your money at your locel movie house.

Now here what I think of the movie:

This movie okay, there some parts are good. And Some parts sucks. I like the drama half of the movie, the comedy half. I have to say no. The comedy half wasn't a bit funny to me. I don't know why I spend all of my money on this cheap movie.

OVERWISE I should say wait for it to come out on video.

* out of ****

I play sports and I can in a way relate to this film. It was a great film showing the pressures of being in school and playing a sport. Although it was kind of predictable, I still love it. Great movie!

I took my 2 daughters, aged 16 and 10, and one of their friends, aged 17 to see this. First of all, this is a teenagers movie. I do not understand why they put so much nudity and language in this that they had to give it an NC-17 rating. If they made it for teenagers, then why did they make it so graphic that teenagers can't get in without a parent or another adult? I consider myself pretty open, but felt embarassed while watching certain parts of this movie. I think that it had a good basic story line, but it all got lost somewhere along the way.

UGH! This film is one of the worst movies ever. If you want to laugh, watch There's Something About Mary or Office Space instead. Brian Robbins, the director of the god-awful film Good Burger makes another crappy movie with no laughs.

If you want a real comedy, rent There's Something About Mary or watch Mike Judge's Office Space. You will laugh at those movies, this movie you will fall to sleep.

I had thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It is a movie for the younger generation (High school or college). Good plot development, story line and performances. This may also be a good soundtrack to purchace.

"Varsity Blues" was good. It had alot of nudity in it. Vanderbeek adds a lot of character to his role. Voit was definitely good. If your a big football fan then you'll love this. It was cleverly written. Good screenplay. It was about a teen who wants to be a football player. This is more like a slice of life type of deal then anything else. See it in theaters it's worth it.

I would rate this **1/2 out of ****

This movie is your typical teen film, to the point where you'll be looking for John Hughes' name in the credits.
