The Comebacks

2007 · 107 min

A rapid-fire spoof that throws silly gags at you nonstop, more fun to mock than to laugh with.

Tagline: Keep your eye on the ball.
Overview: Out-of-luck coach Lambeau Fields takes a rag-tag bunch of college misfits and drives them towards the football championships. In the process, this life-long loser discovers that he is a winner after all by redeeming himself, saving his relationship with his family and friends, and finding that there is indeed, no "I" in "team"!
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, campy and light. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Sport, redemption, family, ambition
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
