For 25 years I've thought I loved Varsity Blues. Turns out I just love saying "I DON'T WANT YOUR LIFE", and also Ali Larter's whipped cream bikini.

In small-town Texas, high school football is a religion, 17-year-old schoolboys carry the hopes of an entire community onto the gridiron every Friday night. When star quarterback Lance Harbor suffers an injury, the Coyotes are forced to regroup under the questionable leadership of John Moxon, a second-string quarterback with a slightly irreverent approach to the game.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A satirical comedy that mines genuine pathos from the pressure cooker of small-town Texas football culture. It's funny and energetic, but never lets you forget what these teenagers are sacrificing to meet impossible expectations.
