Movies that cause brain cancer: The Replacements

The Replacements is a steaming pile of movie, a film so bad it probably causes cancer. In fact, everyone involved should be ashamed of a film that is so horrible that music plays almost non-stop (including a generic version of "Come Out and Play") to distract viewers from the bad acting and a stupid plot dealing with replacement players in a "pro" football league.

It's hard to single out the worst of the acting, but Orlando Jones delivers a blackface-style performance that will make you squirm, and Brooke Langton's Annabelle is a brain dead cunt with push-up tits who spends most of the film performing boring dance routines with an unremarkable group of strippers. When Annabelle encourages Shane Falco (Keanu Reeves) to "kick ass" I could feel the warmth of hot vomit rising up in my throat. Reeves and Gene Hackman (Head Coach Jimmy McGinty) just coast along, and probably spent a lot of time in Hackman's trailer during production, engaging in homosexual acts on top of a pile of money Warner Bros. knew it would recoup simply because of Hackman's involvement. That, and because the movie is about fubaw!
