The Comebacks
Out-of-luck coach Lambeau Fields takes a rag-tag bunch of college misfits and drives them towards the football championships. In the process, this life-long loser discovers that he is a winner after all by redeeming himself, saving his relationship with his family and friends, and finding that there is indeed, no "I" in "team"!
Critics Sentiment
Coach Fields meets his new team of misfits at Heartland State University
The Comebacks face the Lone Star State Penitentiary Unbeatables in the final
The film drops from moderate approval during the team introductions to consistently poor reception throughout the championship sequence
The Comebacks starts with modest promise in its setup and character introductions, earning lukewarm reception from reviewers who found David Koechner well-cast and some early jokes mildly amusing. The film deteriorates steadily after the first 40 minutes as the sports movie parodies fall flat and the plot becomes increasingly convoluted and unfunny. By the climactic championship game, reviewers found the humor completely exhausted, describing the final act as grueling to watch despite the conventional sports movie resolution.
