"Home Team" Netflix Movie Review (1 Viewer)

[BreesHOF2024]

I watched it. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

 

[Optimus Prime]

You let IMDB decide what you like & don't like?

For something I really want to see? No

But if I'm only mildly interested in the first place there's a difference between seeing a 4.5 vs a 9.5 rating

But that said, there's plenty of lower rated movies/shows I enjoyed and plenty of highly rated stuff I didn't get

 

[St. Widge]

I was going to watch this movie since it was about Payton. But the one silver lining to Payton retiring is that I don't have to watch this movie now.

 

[St. Widge]

Having not watched it yet, I'd expect it to only be loosely based on his situation. The comedy will likely be centered around a professional football coach struggling to coach a team of kids, while keeping the themes shallow and light.

I too have not watched, but I bet there are also some heart warming moments between Payton and his son. Where they reconcile after a fight over the fact that Payton often wasn't there for him because he was so busy coaching the Saints and because he divorced him mom. Payton will promise to be there for him more and express how happy he is to have this time to spend with him.

Uncut Gems was Oscar worthy.

Sad to see how badly that movie got snuffed.

 

[Saint Jack]

Sad to see how badly that movie got snuffed.

It was because of Sandler’s filmography.

The only decent part was opening scene with porters interception in the Super Bowl, the portrayal of Payton was a joke nothing close poorly written poorly acted it was like taking the good news bears and mighty ducks putting them in a blender and flushing down a toilet.

No time or interest in watching this but here is the Payton cameo Oscar moment:

 

[Summed7]

Yeah we all know what kind of movie it is. There is a scene involving projectile vomit being used as a coaching strategy. BUT the real question is does it secretly tell us where he's going next...

Netflix’s New Movie Is the Key to Decoding Sean Payton’s Future

‘Home Team’ is more than just a bizarrely timed feel-good movie tied to Bountygate. It’s the guide to understanding Payton’s stunning decision to leave the Saints.

Just saw it. The first 2 minutes are amazing. The next 2 minutes are infuriating. I had flashbacks from the faux outrage bountygate coverage.

Then the next 90 minutes was your basic feel good family comedy about a dad trying to repair his relationship with his son.

Had a few funny moments, but if you aren't a Saints fan it is not a must see.

I may be in the minority, but I don’t think Kevin James is funny. Like, not funny at all.

I think that if you're a Saints fan over the age of 10.. still not a must see lol.

Haha for sure it isn't a must see for anyone.

Who is this Sean Payton fellow you all keep on speaking of all the time?

 

[BikesBurgersBeer]

I never thought I'd pass on a movie or show built around the Saints bountygate story.

Heres a much better way to write a story on the topic:

The movie could open with a montage of the teams history, paper bags, losing records, the wedding dress, Katrina. The montage could end with a new coach and team in the wake of the destruction of the hurricane. The championship, the parade.

Then cut into the anonymous player telling league officials that they have evidence the Saints had targeted Warner in Favre on their way to the SuperBowl.

Build the drama and the characters involved from there.

I really enjoyed Uncut Gems, the first Sandler movie Ive watched in forever but I have have no interest in seeing this.
