Maverick old-guard coach Jimmy McGinty is hired in the wake of a players' strike to help the Washington Sentinels advance to the playoffs. But that impossible dream hinges on whether his replacements can hunker down and do the job. So, McGinty dusts off his secret dossier of ex-players who never got a chance (or screwed up the one they were given) and knits together a bad-dream team of guys who just may give the Sentinels their title shot.
A decent underdog type of sports film but it's too corny and the bits with the cheerleaders are cringe-worthy and overly sexual like they just needed some T&A in the trailer to appeal to a wider audience. The true story itself could've been done in a more serious way highlighting the characters more realistically than the cliched caricature ones we're given.
