This movie was average at best. Not too many laugh out loud moments and pretty cheesy. Can't beleive the rating on here is so high.

The premise outline of this movie has been done before. In 1999 a school football team had a chance to break a 50 year old drought and win the Turkey Bowl. But it snowed and the game never got finished. Why it didn't get rescheduled is a reality point the movie ignores for the team's to reunite in 2019 (I guess) and finish what they started. Only thing is the star player has run off to be a big shot in Chicago and is about to be engaged to a presidential campaigners daughter. He is tricked into returning home to play the game he has no interest in, nor wants to return home. Once there, he rekindles with his buddies, teammates and old girlfriend.... you can probably fill in how it all ends.
The comedy tries to be a bit of Animal House and borrows a lot of the same story from The Waterboy and just about every other underdogs football movie. The plot has no originality, and the outcomes are foreseen a mile away.
However, there is a couple of laughs, has a good pace, and doesn't leave you bored. It's ok for one viewing, but it has no rewatch value.

Reviews are bots. Bad writing. Bad acting. Just plain bad.

Reviews are bots. Bad writing. Bad acting. Just plain bad.
It's disappointing to see how a bad movie can get falsified reviews and undermine the integrity, a trusted source for movie reviews.
Within ten minutes of starting the film, you'll regret your decision.

How did this get an 8/10 rating????

Cute and fun, what you would expect.

Similar to the Robin Williams/Kurt Russell movie about replaying a high school football game. Not great but not horrible. Fun and light which I think is its intention.Pretty much what you would expect from the premise. I liked the lead actor and thought all actors were good and Switzer was a great cast. If you like sports movies and nostalgia, and don't require a mental challenge you'll enjoy this.
I'd rather watch the view

8.0 for this??? So many fake reviews...
enigma-947-33946719 November 2019
Then of course there's these completely fake over the top 10/10 reviews. A 10 means it's among the best movies that exist. This doesn't even come close.
First 20 mins in, I barely laughed once. These reviews are fake. This movie comes up as an 8/10? Please. There's no chance in hell.
This is a 4 MAX. Tired formula, only like 2 actors I've even ever seen before, and I watch a lot of movies. Nothing new or unique and nothing that puts this over a 3 for me.
Corny, campy music accompanies stupid scenes or grade c acting and even worse writing.
Imdb needs to do something about these blatant upvotes from bots and the movie staff desperately trying to get you to watch this less than average movie.

Timeless Holiday Movie
ryan_walsh-2685317 November 2019
This movie combines small town, high school memories and experiences that many viewers can attest to. Furthermore, it is situated around a holiday and sport that many of us have grown to love. Great cast, fantastic comedic writing, and a sound track that will bring back fond memories to many. This is a timeless movie that will be enjoyable to watch year after year.
Funny, cheesy, predictable but brings you back !!

To everyone giving this 1 star 3 stars for the acting. What are you pretentious idiots expecting.. it's a goofy jude Apatow movie.
It's supposed to be an easy watching holiday movie that everyone can enjoy. Yes it's not a 10 but it's certainly not a 1. People act like they could make a better movie produce it. You all watched it so they did their job. Who cares what you think.
If your looking for an easy fun holiday movie or anytime really, beings you back to growing up with your friends, the hurt from moving away and coming back to see everyone you or the other may have missed. Its a heart felt movie.
Dont expect some james Cameron products or Quentin terinteno. Expect a average movie.

Not a good movie

Warning: Spoilers
The only reason I even hit play was because Hulu used Alan Ritchson to promote it, and being a Blue Mountain State fan I had certain expectations for it. For me the biggest flaw is the pacing... it did not need to be 2 hours. An hour into it and I could not believe there was still another hour. The story was forced, predictable and cliche... guy comes back to his small town home from the big city and ultimately decides to stay in the small town in the end. I will give them credit for putting together a good soundtrack that anyone in high school during the 90s would enjoy.
Waste of my money
spblattner26 November 2019
I've seen my fair share of terrible movies, and this is without a doubt one of them. The fact that this movie received a 99% Rotten Tomatoes Audience Review blows my mind. I haven't stopped a movie mid way in a few years now, but I couldn't resist. Everything about it is cringeworthy, from the cheesy and ridiculously see-through plot, to the over-the-top sexual content.
Regurgitated cack...
thebosunmw21 November 2019
First review I've ever written so bear with me..
This film is absolute pump, Northern English for rubbish. It's terrible, same boring story but somehow ruined, wooden acting and just...wow.
How has this film got such hight ratings? I'm guessing most of the reviews are from bots. At the risk of repeating myself, wow.
Soooooooo Bad

Fantastic feel good comedy
kwgruber17 November 2019
The Turkey bowl is a refreshing feel good comedy that arrives just in time for the holidays. It's a classic small town story that will bring nostalgia to many. Fantastic casting, great comedic timing, and a movie you will want to watch again and again!
Not funny at all for a 8, fake fake fake

Beware
anarchangel-228 November 2019
This is a terrible movie. The acting is bad. The writing is bad. It honestly looks like an early 90s straight to VHS movie.
You will probably not laugh once. You will probably not even smile. Whoever put this movie out knows that it's a crap. That's why they're paying people to give good reviews.

Tmokko gave this movie a 1 but gave catwoman a 6
burnsbburns12 December 2019
Enjoying reading the reviews such ends of the spectrum. I like seeing what the 1 and 10 rate other films you can do this under their post and see all their reviews. This was a fun film worth watching all the way to the end. Enjoy
Worth watching
toparchive13 August 2021
It's worth watching if you're a fan of stoner type comedy. Not the best editing, no name cast outside of Matt Jones (Breaking Bad - the reason I found this film), and a cameo part from Harland Williams (Half Baked). The concept was very predictable at every turn, cheesy at times to the point of slapstick. The end football game was very exaggerated.. and the soundtrack made it feel like a cliche 90s movie.. Other than that, the acting wasn't terrible, the script was pretty "meh", with lots of obvious unexplained questions.. For what it was, the script could have been better. There's a few laughs in there if you don't get over critical while watching it. It is what it is.. a 5 out of 10 star movie at best. I'd probably give it a 3-4 without Matt Jones. Ever since I saw him in Breaking Bad as Badger, I've watched most everything else he's done - so there you go.
