Draft Day - starring Kevin Costner & Jennifer Garner. Draft day follows, not surprisingly, NFL draft day for fictional Cleveland Browns GM Sonny Weaver (Kevin Costner) as he navigates his fellow GM's, his coaches, his players, prospective players and their agents, and a disgruntled fanbase all the while trying to balance his only personal life. As a self proclaimed draftnik, I had to see this one. It wasn't a horrible movie, it had some strong moments. If you like football, you might like it, if you're not a football fan though, and are not too familiar with the NFL draft, I'm guessing you wouldn't like it much. As for the good, I loved seeing some of the supposed inner workings of an NFL front office on draft day, from the sounds of it, much of it was close to reality. The ensemble cast was also strong, I loved how they worked in some actual NFL personalities into the movie. On the downside, if NFL GM's were as stupid and naive as some of those portrayed in this movie, that team's fans would certainly revolt. Still, overall, it's worth a watch.
I'll give it 3 out of 5 stars (*****).
