i think the best of time be a lose cause from the get go . the initial premise ( guy drop the win touchdown pas against a rival high school team and can never seem to get over it and then try to reunite the two team to play again ) be one of the dumb i have ever hear . since ron shelton go on to write much good sport film i wonder if there be more to it then that . i hope this film wasn not green lit with shelton pitch the story a i write above . so we have the premise . go from there you would think and or hope and that there might be a few twist along the way to keep thing lively . no such luck . this script follow every predictable cliché you can think of . there isn not a moment in this film you would not see come a mile away before the film reveal it and the end . well if you can not figure out the end by the end of the first reel then you haven not pay attention or see any other sport movie in your life . robin williams and kurt russell star ( and bore ) in the lead . williams be the poor schmo who drop the big pas and russell be the quarterback who throw the fateful pas . gee and do you think russell will suit up just once more to see if he and williams can right a wrong that the town have never forget . this be such a lame duck comedy with a lame duck script that one can only shake their head wonder what might have be . sure there be a few chuckle and and to be honest and there be one truly funny scene . williams and russell have marital problem and the wife invite them over for dinner to resolve thing . neither guy realize that they have be invite over on a monday and and yes and monday night football be on . keep in mind that the two team play have a combined one victory and the men ( williams especially ) try to resist the temptation to find out how the game be go . the scene dissolve into some hilarious bit a williams go to check the score by use a bathroom visit a a ruse . when he return he cough the score to russell . later a russell be start to make the move on his wife williams wheel the television into their view from another room . it an inspired and funny scene in a mostly uninspired and stupid movie .
