WORST SPORTS MOVIES Ever Part 3 of 3 Review

The Worst Sports Movies Of All Time....that I have had the misfortune to sit through.  I'm telling you briefly about my encounter with some lousy movies so that you will avoid making the same mistake I did and spend any time watching these.    I'm sure there are plenty of lousy movies that I missed, but here's some more awful flicks to avoid:

Amazing Chuck and Grace (1987) Do you remember this wanna-be Frank Capra movie about the kid who refuses to pitch his big little league game to protest nuclear weapons? A professional basketball player (Grace) joins the kids protest which grows. Gregory Peck has a small role as The President. If it was kept light and silly and say 85 minutes long-perhaps it would have worked. Since its dragged out to nearly 2 hours and turns somber in tone-it becomes something much less than Amazing or graceful.

The Replacements (2000) yeah.. replace this with another movie. This is the movie that tries to get us to believe Keanu Reeves as a quarterback. It features poorly done football action complete with continuity errors (A ten yard penalty moves a ball 13 yards for instance). There's a romance you won't care about as well..

The Cutting Edge (1992) is nowhere to be seen in this movie about ice skaters competing on the ice, loving off of it, with several complications and lots of predictable cliché's.    I know a few people say they like this one.. I don't know why....

Ladybugs (1992) Rodney Dangerfield gets no respect but deserves none for this one where he coaches a girl's. . . oh forget it.... Skip it... most already have.

The Air Up There (1994) unfortunately the air didn't kill the folks who made this junk. Kevin Bacon in one of his worst performances plays a basketball coach who goes to Africa to recruit a player and has a run in with the tribal chief and then there's the big bad mining company... there's even problems with the basketball action in the movie...(college b-ball is played in two-halves, but in this movie it's played in quarters like the NBA-glad to know they researched it so well, huh?).  Better title:  The Stink in Here.

Necessary Roughness (1991) Unnecessary pain delivered to audiences. A college football team that has lost its official sanction recruits new players from the student body including a 34 year old quarterback --Scott Bakula. Strained, desperate comedy hi-jinks follow.

Perhaps you have forgotten these putrid pieces of puss-infested poop:

Youngblood (1986) - Rob Lowe's ridiculous Hockey movie... see pretty boy on skates... fight... fight.. watch the face... watch the face.... 

The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh (1979) -Look at this wild cast:  Jonathan Winters and Dr. J. , Meadow Lark Lemmon, Flip Wilson. Comedy, astrology and disco basketball.. how could it miss you say? Oh so many, many ways. It's just an uninspired waste of time. It probably was hoping to be CAR WASH... zzzzzz

The Babe (1992) If you are going to show Babe Ruth as the womanizing egotistical greedy alcoholic lout he supposedly actually was, then why make a movie about the dark side of Babe Ruth that is just a inaccurate and at times corny and clichéd as the old phony William Bendix BABE RUTH STORY? Forget this one.

Like Mike (2002) -- watched most of this with my then 10 year old on cable. Don't have anything sharp near you if you get forced into watching it. Rapper Bow Wow plays b-ball.

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.. Which reminds me of that dull one with Bruce Dern as a runner who... oh no.. I must stop now...
