Should I turn off this movie?

15 minutes in and....

Seattle offered the first overall pick (with an Andrew Luck type QB in the draft) for the #7 overall pick from Cleveland and a first next year and a third the year after. Cleveland somehow said no to this, even though that's a huge fricking steal for them.

10 minutes later they trade 3 first rounders for the pick. Wtf? This is some illogical shite

Well I kept watching it. And just have to vent about all of this. So at this point they've traded 3 first round picks for this QB, Bo Callahan. Well somehow, they just now start looking more into Bo AFTER deciding to trade away three 1st rounders.

Then they watch tape on a MLB who is a projected top 10-top 20 pick playing against Bo, because the MLB (Mack) told the GM to watch the film more closely. Mack has four sacks in this game, then gets kicked out before the end because he also scores on a fumble and gives the ball to his sister in the stands with cancer. When he hands the ball to his sister he gets flagged for excessive celebration and gets upset so he touches the ref, gets kicked out. After that, Bo leads his team to victory. Seems like it would be a huge ordeal right, something any fricking casual football fan would know about. But nah, Browns find out about it on draft day. Will update when this gets worse and they do more stupid shite

They use the #1 pick to take Mack, the MLB, who they could've got at 7. Makes sense.

Somehow Bo is falling, who again is an Andrew luck prospect. He's still on the board at 6. But Jacksonville trades 6 overall to Cleveland for 3 2nd round picks. Lol wut? You just traded a #6 overall with a chance for an Andrew luck, for 3 2nd rounders? k

LOL IT JUST GOT WORSE. the Seahawks (who traded the first overall pick for the 3 first rounders) just traded the 3 first rounders plus a player, back to Cleveland for #6 to take Bo Callahan. So in summary,

Seattle trades #1 overall and a player for #6.

Cleveland trades #6 overall and 3 second rounders for #1 overall and a player.

Jax trades number #6 overall for 3 2nd round picks.

This was what everyone ended giving up and getting, in a roundabout way

I thought it looked terrible in the previews. Incredibly cheesy.

It's pretty bland.

And Costner is really melancholy who acts as if he's so far over his head - there's no way he'd ever get this GM job IRL.

It's just not that interesting - and really spends most of the movie advertising the NFL and showing stadiums and ESPN pundits and Roger Goodell.

The story itself is so thin...it's almost laughable.

The Browns trade 3 first rounders for someone they could have had at their original spot.

Browns gonna Brown

Only reason I gave it a chance. I knew it was going to suck, but I gave it a try anyway. It was as bad as I anticipated.

Costner spends the whole movie walking around

It was cheesy and dumb and illogical

The worst was Costner sitting at 6 and saying to seatle we are taking Bo unless you give me back my picks plus your return guy. The Seattle guy bites. IRL the Seattle guy would have said frick you, take him and rode it out. If Cleveland really wanted Bo they would have taken him at 1

The Jacksonville GM was a clown

Well, yeah that too.

Costner was so dumb and conflicted and wishy-washy as a GM, they had to make the other GM's even dumber to make him look smart.

And Jennifer Garner looked weird.

Decent movie, but I'm glad they left the Saints out of the ridiculousness.

Watched it last night and posted this on another thread on here:

Just watched this movie and needed to come and see if anyone talked about this shite-show. So I searched and came across this thread to sadly see people saying they liked it.

The writing was garbage. It was so contrived and the laughable forced romance filled with cliches were pitiful. All I can think after watching that piece of shite, is how can anyone actually like it? Holy cow was that terrible.

To reiterate, it is a huge pile of crap.

I saw it with very high hopes. Unfortunately, it was so very bad. I agree with everything the OP said. The writers knew jack shite about football. Browns analyzed the QB for about 6 hours and found out he was not a leader and that he folded after a hit. No other team could have figured that out with their months of analyzing every aspect of this $30M potential investment? I found it impossible to suspend disbelief.

Ok well I'm kind of dumb, and I never put that much thought into the plot holes. I guess that's why I enjoyed it.
