- Quotes
Vince: Hey coach. Name is Vince. I'm just a bartender from Philly whose only dream is to play ball. It's all I got left after I lost my job teaching, and my wife left me. Like my alcoholic father used to say before he passed on, "A man can only take so much failure!" I'll give you everything I got. What do you say coach?
Lambeau "Coach" Fields: I say you can add "Did not make the football team" to your list of woes.
- Alternate versionsUnrated Version On home video there is a much longer version that has several new scenes, reedited scenes and different angles.

The jokes are very broad. It's one of those modern spoof movies. At least, it has Koechner but even he gets tiresome after awhile. It is spoofing too many things. The references are too scattered. It's all over the place. There are so many characters that they don't get to develop. This comes in a long line of bad spoof movies. It's not the worst one but it's not much better either.
