Although this movie doesn't have an ounce of depth, it's so thoroughly amiable and upbeat that you'd have to be in a fighting mood to find fault with it. ...read the complete Replacements movie review at LA Weekly (F. X. Feeney)

"The Replacements" is slap-happy entertainment painted in broad strokes, two coats thick.
