YoloinOhio Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Wait just a GD minute... Ramses is in it?? How did I not know. Buffalo Bills @buffalobills 39m #Bills WR Ramses Barden (@RamsesSHINES) makes acting debut in Draft Day http://ow.ly/vH4zN pic.twitter.com/1YfgshWblz You can count the number of movies I've seen in a theater over the past five years on three fingers. This won't be the fourth; I'll wait a couple of months weeks for it to show up on NetFlix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Me too. Plus I hear its awful CBF no offense. But when you posted this, the movie hadn't even touched down in theaters yet. So who are you hearing that from? Just curious. Fwiw, those of you who think this is going to be packed with football scenes on the field. Think again. Which is probably why that review was horrible. Idiots think this is going to be action packed with non stop football action should think again. It's the die hards that love every aspect of football and the draft and free agency that will truly appreciate what it is. I'll be seeing it today or tomorrow I think.

Last Guy on the Bench Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 The great Wesley Morris didn't think much of it either. http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/political-footballs-draft-day-the-unknown-known-and-rio-2/ Sounds awful. (I'll still watch it, though, because . . . um . . . it's about the draft!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'll likely wait til it hits the Redbox. My expectations for this movie are so low that I wouldn't dare spend the money to go watch it in the theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrags Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Did you even read the review? i read the quite from the review. I don't need to read reviews of people for something I plan on doing, or buying anyway. It's pointless. I decided a long time ago that I would enjoy this movie because it's about football. About the draft. And it has actors in it that I enjoy watching. So I don't need someone telling me why I should or shouldn't like it. I already made up my mind. Now when I see it and I don't think it's that good, I'll be disappointed, but I was going to watch regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not. It's a draft movie in the sport of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kellyto83TD Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Yep Bills are in there and sitting behind the desk is none other than Russ 'Hard ass' Brandon.

mrags Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Just walked out of the theatre now. I laughed at his small part. Thought he was hilarious. I wanted to stand up and cheer when they had the flyover the field house to view the Ralph. Overall, I thought the movie was pretty good. I think the outcome of the moves was a little ridiculous, but entertaining regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbag Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) does the climax of the film involve the browns desperately trying to reach buddy nix only to realize he's at home, in bed, asleep? Edited April 11, 2014 by Dirtbag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Just walked out of the theatre as we speak. Overall I was decently impressed. Of course I thought some of the trades were ridiculous, and I couldn't see it happening in real life, but possible and overall not bad. I have no doubt that some of the things that go on when debating players and picks is taken I to account in this movie. And I liked it when Costner was about to tell Shefter to stick it.

The man can't help what God gave him, mrags. Still, I can't imagine that he consented to full frontal nudity in a movie like this and climaxed over Cleveland to boot.

Kellyto83TD Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) mr rags but you can actually see how it went down possibly happening in real life. I mean we have seen some strange crap. I thought the did very well. And Russ being 'Stone cold Russ Austin' Essentially was hilarious. I think you can 2nd the fact they didn't disrespect the Bills at all.

I thought the 2nd deal at the end was a bit exaggerated but the initial deal and how all the other teams were trying to make trades throughout the whole movie was most likely dead balls accurate in how things go down in the NFL.

Ill save you the suspense, No. Of all the teams they show talking trade with Sonny (aka Coster) The Bills and Russ Brandon were the toughest. They really showed Buffalo to be strong. Bills fans, Go see the movie. It is a good solid movie about a team and happenings in the draft. YES I wish they had kept it the Bills, but they didn't. What they did to was represent us well I thought for a short segment. Overall as a football fan I think you will enjoy it if you take it for what it is, a movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I saw it last night, and it was a lot of fun. Went with my college age son, and he liked as well. Costner did a nice job, and Jennifer Garner looked great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thurman34 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Saw it last night. I love the NFL draft, just love it. That would be the ONLY reason I would recommend watching it as I'm getting more and more excited for the actual draft. Overall, entertaining but not worth it if you don't absolutely love the draft.
