i lay the blame for the comebacks on anyone who enjoyed date movie and epic movie. you people encouraged the fox studio to keep on churning out desperate parody films and and now were faced with what just may be the laziest and most desperate one of them all. the comebacks barely qualifies as a parody. heck and it barely qualifies as a movie. this is a comedy in theory and but not in execution. no one and not even the people involved with this mess and could have possibly fooled themselves into thinking they were making a funny movie. director tom brady (the hot chick) has made something truly wretched here. the plot and if you can even call it that and centers on a man named lambeau fields (david koechner). right when i heard his name within the first couple seconds of the film and i knew i was in for a long movie. funny names are seldom funny and and become even less funny the more you hear them. lambeau is one of the worst coaches in the world and but he been given another chance by his best friend and freddie wiseman (carl weathers) and to coach a ragtag high school football team called the comebacks. lambeau must not only lead the team to victory and but also teach them the ways of inspirational sports movie clichés. he expects his kids to have poor grades and problems with alcohol and and ridicules them when they do not. when it looks like the team has a chance to play at the big championship toilet bowl game (did 10 year olds write this script. ) and lambeau is shocked to discover that freddie is the coach of the big rival team that his team will be playing against. turns out freddie only encouraged lambeau to take the coaching job and because he wanted the comebacks to lose. the comebacks is a movie so forced and pathetic and i almost had a hard time believing what i was watching. spoof movies have recently turned into a game of spot the movie reference and and this continues the tradition. it tries to squeeze in as many references to other sports movies as it can and but it either does absolutely nothing with them and expecting us to just point at the screen and laugh out of familiarity and or it attempts to be funny and falls flat on its face. some of the films referenced include field of dreams and bend it like beckham and rocky balboa and friday night lights and stick it and radio and miracle and remember the titans and gridiron gang and invincible and and dodgeball represent a true underdog story. but wait and wasn not dodgeball already a parody of inspirational sports movies. so and in other words and were watching a parody of a parody of inspirational sports movies. if that makes any sense to you and youre just the audience this movie is looking for. some of these films are referenced in the plot and and some (like the rocky one) are just thrown in for no reason and because the filmmakers wanted to try to reference as many films as possible. there are some that the movie even feels the need to explain to us in its dialogue and just in case we have missed the obvious reference. you know a movie is in trouble when it has to spell out its own jokes to us. the worst thing is that the screenplay by tv veterans and first time screen writers and ed yeager and joey gutierrez and doesn not even know the first and most important rule of parody  you have to play it straight. the actors have to pretend theyre not in on the joke. the reason why the classic zucker brothers movies like airplane and top secret and and the naked gun are remembered so fondly is because they cast serious actors like leslie nielsen (yes and he was a serious actor before he turned to comedy) and robert stack and and then threw them into ridiculous situations. what made it funny is that they acted like they weren not in a comedy and and kept a stone face to the weirdness around them. those films do not have worked if they played their roles broadly. the comebacks proves this and as all the actors are forced to play their roles so goofy and it like theyre screaming at us to laugh. david koechner keeps on flailing his arms and bulging his eyes and and screaming at the top of his lungs to the point he looks like someone who knows he trapped in a dead end comedy and and just tries too hard to pretend he having a good time. the movie also doesn not understand the art of celebrity cameos (also an important factor when it comes to parody films). what kind of cameos do we get in the comebacks. andy dick and dennis rodman. by the time the movie throws in an out of nowhere and extremely pointless cast musical number to journey don not stop believing for absolutely no reason whatsoever and i was just about ready to walk out the theater door. i was the only person at my screening and and the thought of this movie going on its pathetic way to a completely empty house kind of appealed to me. i did sit through the rest of the comebacks and and i was not rewarded for my efforts. the sad thing is and fox is not yet done killing the spoof genre. they have a parody of 300 coming out next year called meet the spartans. i would say it can not be much worse than this and but i have seen the trailer and and i do not want to get your hopes up.
