Audience Reviews for Draft Day

• Jul 26, 2015

  Dramatic, exciting, and yet undeniably commercialized, Draft Day is a sort of poor man's Moneyball. As the name would suggest, it revolves around the exploits of GM Sonny Weaver as his team prepares for the much-hyped Draft Day. What I expected going in to Draft Day was something completely pandering to the NFL, a sort of 2 hour promo for the league and it's growing commercial power and branding. What I actually got was some of that, but also a rather interesting character drama, lead by the great Kevin Costner. His Weaver is a man of insecurity, uncertainty, and yet one of confidence and boldness. It's a perfect combination, and perhaps a rather accurate combination of modern-day NFL execs. Costner is, by far, the most capable actor on screen, and the most interesting. When the film stays with him, it succeeds, and fortunately director Ivan Reitman recognized that. There are clichés to be had, and many of the side characters didn't work for me, especially Jennifer Garner (whom I quite like), but it manages to remain relevant by surprising the viewer. There's a real heart to be had in the story, and a lesson to be learned. It doesn't redefine the sports movie genre, but it keeps us entertained. 3.5/5 Stars

  Costner seems to be the poster boy for Sports comedies and dramas and while this is far from his best I still fairly enjoyed it. The human aspect falls quite short but the football side is quite well done but this film is far from the quality of Moneyball! Garner and Leary are wasted in thankless roles and was surprised that Ivan Reitman couldn't have delivered a better film. Costner is the reason the film works at all and I am glad to see him back in movies on a regular basis. 05-23-2015

  While I can enjoy a good alternate universe sports movie, I cannot, for some reason, appreciate Kevin Costner. He's just an emotionless sack on screen to me. I don't think he quite pulled off the commanding general manager role. The dialogue felt stilted and forced for most of the cast. There were a few cameos that some NFL fans will appreciate but overall, this average flick won't quite entertain or leave anyone thinking the outcome mattered.

  One of the rare films where Costner's understated and wooden persona is actually effective. I enjoyed the film quite a bit.
