Draft Day Ratings & Reviews
- mickerdooAugust 18, 2025Kind of fun haggling movie. Drew ties to my fantasy draft. Has some funny moments and good time sensitivity. Garner looks great.
- Michael SurberApril 29, 2025An often overlooked gem with Kevin Costner cast in the perfect role for him. Terrific supporting cast including the great Chadwick Boseman, Jennifer Garner and Denis Leary. I watch this one pretty much every spring getting ready for the actual NFL draft. It's consistently better than the real thing. Guaranteed.
- Joe OsJuly 10, 2025I know a lot more about American football draft,just need to try to understand the rules. Very good film.
- Mister ArnMay 19, 2025Watched "Draft Day" just before going to my fantasy draft. I think that helped me get through the first part of the movie. It seemed everything that happened was designed to build pressure on Kevin Costner's character. His mother even shows up minutes before the draft and insists that he stop everything to spread his father's ashes on the field. That said it was really fun when the draft started. The team's owner must have a teleporting device to get to Cleveland from New York as fast as he did.
- Jamie TalbotMay 8, 2025A perfectly watchable sports movie. I think it’s good to watch as a non-American where we don’t have the draft format. It gives an insight to how chaotic Draft Days really can be. I liked the high-stakes that came across during the film and the constant up and down thoughts of the characters throughout.
