Out-of-luck coach Lambeau Fields takes a rag-tag bunch of college misfits and drives them towards the football championships. In the process, this life-long loser discovers that he is a winner after all by redeeming himself, saving his relationship with his family and friends, and finding that there is indeed, no "I" in "team"!

Crappy film

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Wasted talent and gags. Great for film class on how to squander talent. Should have been played really dry not like this.

This movie shows how sick our society has gotten...There are WAY too many penile references...why?? is this really necessary to make a funny spoof movie?? i think not..grow some morality people..i don't understand why some filmmakers feel as if they need to sell out to sex, drugs, violence, language, etc... a really good film doesn't need to do this...take a look at some of the classic films, even airplane, now that was a funny movie and yes there were some unsavory references, but it wasn't too much of one thing... 'the comebacks' tho was intolerable and even painful to sit thru...i didn't make it past 15 minutes...o and the rating of pg-13...whoever decided that a 13 year old should watch this needs to have their head examined...i would NEVER want my 13 year old to hear and see such disgusting things...so sad that our society thinks this is OK and funny... :(

If it would of had Jack Black listed as the leading actor I would of stayed away from this movie right away. It actually makes some of his movies look good compared to this movie.This movie should of been filmed as a cartoon for ages 3-8 and it would of been a lot better. It is nothing but a bunch of the stupidest skits from other movies put together to make one big mess.The movie looks like it was shot in about one day with no thought at all behind it. There's a few times where it looks like maybe there's gonna be a turning point and the movie well actually have plot to the movie or at least a storyline would develop but the stupid skits inserted just ruin the whole movie.

Yes, everyone loves the Scary Movies and Hot Shots, but spoof films have really gotten out of hand. With disasters like Epic Movie, Date Movie, Superhero Movie, etc, is there really anything left to be spoofed? Sure, I'm a guy who likes stupid comedies with bathroom humor, crotch kicks and all that stuff, but those movies just abuse it. Enter The Comebacks, a stupid, yet entertaining, take on the inspirational sports flick.David Koechner (best known as Champ Kind from Anchorman) finally gets a well deserved lead role and makes the most of it. Sure, all he does is act like a complete moron, but that's what Koechner does best. He just simply looks like he's having fun being a complete moron. Carl Weathers, a veteran of the Rocky films, lends a small supporting hand. There are some funny cameos by folks such as Dennis Rodman and Frank Caliendo. Some of the films spoofed successfully include Friday Night Lights, Remember the Titans, Rudy, Rocky and Coach Carter. Some sad spoof attempts are made at films such as Radio and Stick It. On the other hand, those who watch ESPN will like seeing sports issues spoofed such as the Duke lacrosse scandal, and Terrell Owens.So, if you're the type of person who's willing to laugh at stupid things...enjoy! If not, just skip and save everyone the complaining.
