Casting is the strength of this football comedy. Burt Reynolds is at the top of his game. Eddie Albert does very well, James Hampton is at his best, & the supporting cast is strong. Add to this several top notch football players including Joe Kapp (who people forget was the first QB to take the Vikings to the Super Bowl) and you understand why the game sequences look real.
A strong cast like this deserved a little less predictable material. I do like this film a lot because of the cast but if the script had a surprise or two in it, the film would have even more impact. Worth watching but could have been better.
