You mean a movie where a woman tries to (and probably succeeds) in pulling her man away from his sports fanaticism is an inspirational film like Miracle?
(Oh, and Rudy sucked ass)

at least this isn't about a crappy remake of the longest yard.
But you KNOW that at the end of that movie, Fallon is going to go with Barrymore to Paris and miss the September games out of love. It's a silly romantic comedy, it's gotta end that way.Originally posted by Lawrence of Arabia

Just FYI...the ending of the movie was changed due to...certain circumstances surrounding the 2004 World Series

Yes, I realize... but being a romantic comedy... the woman always gets what she wants.

The only saving grace of this movie is Barrymore getting abaseball upside thehead.
ACK!

He never buys... any smokes.
The Replacements
You know what's really bad about it though. I just looked it up on IMDB and it is based on "Fever Pitch", a novel about the author's obsession with Arsenal's soccer club. Yeah, ok, adapting it for a US audience. But a movie on the novel was made in 1997! They are making a remake and it isn't even 10 years since the original!

but they didnt have to change the name cuz pitch works for both sports

Well if they are making a 'remake' there is no reason to change the name.

you do if the name no longer makes sense. if an american movie is called '1st and 10' and the limeys remake it for soccer, they need to change the name.

I take some solace (maybe ignorantly) that its a Farrelly Brothers movie...
...but then again, the Coens did "Intolerable Cruelty"
Imran: What about all those movies like "The Ring", etc? There's an "Old Boy" American remake coming out next year. "Old Boy" came out in 2003.

I typed in Old Boy in IMDB and nothing came up on it.

that's because I accidentally put a space between "Old" and "boy"
