Varsity Blues uses all the trappings of the typical football movie-a tragic injury, a goofy linebacker, and a Big Final Game-but does so with a sly and surprisingly biting attitude towards our national sport.

While there are some undeniable false notes, there's also quite a bit on screen that works.

a better picture than you might expect, given that it was produced by MTV Pictures (who created last year's debacle 'Dead Man On Campus') and directed by Brian Robbins, the man who previously brought 'Good Burger' to the screen.
