The Comebacks (2007) 5/10

Starring : David Koechner, Karl Weathers, Melora Hardin, Matthew Lawrence, Brooke Nevin
Director : Tom Brady
Running Time : 103 mins

Failing football coach Lambeau Fields (Koechner) has been nothing but a failure in his pursued career, but when he is encouraged to take a greater interest in his job by his friend Freddie Wiseman (Weathers ), he relocates to another school where he brings together a rag tag football team that he just might be able to form into a respectable team.

This isn’t as bad as some of the spoof movies of recent years (I’m lumping this in with the Movie Movies as it is called Sports Movie in some countries), but there really isn’t enough humour to make this a memorable comedy. Thankfully it does try to stick to its subject matter of teen comedy stroke sports comedy and doesn’t slip into other genres which might have made it feel like it was being padded out.
