Very disappointing!
Reviewer: Emotional Baggage
Date: 20/04/2008
Went to see this film because I'm a huge fan of George, but not even he saved this film - not very funny and actually boring in some places. A dull history lesson in the evolution of the rules of American Football. The plot was terrible - it was impossible to be interested in the conclusion of the film or in any of the characters.
Disappointing
