The Comebacks Column


The last movie that I saw was adequate. It was pretty funny, but for the most part it was silly. This movie is called The Comebacks. When it comes to sport movies this one has them all. From football, to baseball, to basketball, to hockey, and even dodgeball. It had it all. This movie is a parody. A parody is a type of movie where one movie makes fun of a ton of other movies. Parodies are often hysterical. However, this one, while funny at times, was not one of my favorite parodies. This movie included lines and imitations from any sport movie that you can think of. Some examples... Coach Carter, Remember the Titans, Invincible, Miracle, Radio, The Longest Yard, and many more. The lead actor in this movie is David Koechner. He played the coach. He was in other movies like Anchorman, and Get Smart to name a few. He was very funny in this movie. Whether he gave an inspirational speech, (lol) went to prison, or threw wrenches at people, he was very funny. While parts of this movie were pretty funny, there were things I didn't like. In particular, when Ipod( imitation of Radio) turned into an IPOD commercials, or when Freddie, the coaches old assistant coach, turned out to be the coach of the best team in his division. That was not one of my favorite scenes. The fact that Acl Tear did not come back into the movie I thought was a mistake, he could have come back and played in the last game. I give this movie one point five popcorn buckets, out of a total of four popcorn buckets.
Once again write all of your comments to me, and tell all of the people that you know about this blog.

sounds like this movie didn't make too big of a Comeback. Not going to waste my time and see it when there are so many other movies I want to see.
