As Coach Lambeau Fields (
David Koechner) puts together Heartland State's new football team, he and his misfit squad manage to mock every sport movie of the last couple decades. As they hit the field on the way to the championship game, they take on the likes of
Rocky,
Field of Dreams,
Seabiscuit,
Blue Crush,
Stick It and
The Longest Yard among countless others.
It all starts when a voice-in-the-sky tells Coach, "If you build it, he will come" -- that is, the quarterback that will lead The Comebacks to victory. But the team will also need a kicker who can
Bend It Like Beckham, an assistant coach with a love for the game and his
Radio... or rather iPod; and a little guy with heart whose name sounds a lot like
Rudy. Once the team is in place, Coach Fields watches his team forget the
Titans under the glaring
Friday Night Lights, and leads them all the way to the state championship where they battle a
Gridiron Gang of footballers and manage to turn out the biggest
Miracle the little Texas town of Plainfolk has seen since that
Invincible bartender from Philly tried out for the team and made it. Oh wait. In THE COMEBACKS, he doesn't make it.
Good little movie - if you didn't like it you expected way too much - the Indian chick is smoking HOT!
Not bad, but could have been better. The comedic timing was weak in a number of scenes.
