The Replacements
Throw the ball. Catch the girl. Keep it simple.
Directed by Howard Deutch
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, Bel Air Entertainment
A feel-good sports comedy about misfits and second chances, built on warmth, humor, and the underdog triumph of a ragtag team.
Maverick old-guard coach Jimmy McGinty is hired in the wake of a players' strike to help the Washington Sentinels advance to the playoffs. But that impossible dream hinges on whether his replacements can hunker down and do the job. So, McGinty dusts off his secret dossier of ex-players who never got a chance (or screwed up the one they were given) and knits together a bad-dream team of guys who just may give the Sentinels their title shot.
