Varsity Blues
Directed by Brian RobbinsIn 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.
Varsity Blues Ratings & Reviews
- Kit LazerFebruary 4, 2025There is a turn in this movie, an unexpected kindness to a stereotyped character so empathetic that it left me speechless, I shit you not. It’s funny because Varsity Blues mostly fails as the raunchy teen comedy it disguises itself to be but ends up being an almost profound rallying cry for all the youths having the weight of the world thrust upon their shoulders by feckless, loser adults with nothing left to their sad miserable existence than to live vicariously through kids.
- texas319July 30, 2025Great movie… classic late 90s movie! No agenda or politics, great acting with storyline most millineals can get behind and especially Texans. They don’t make movies like this anymore without some type of woke over tone. Even the conflict between the Coach and the running back was tastefully built-in, addressed, revisited, and highlighted at the right time yet it wasn’t over powering and was part of several storylines brought together beautifully for the last act.
- AlexJuly 22, 2025Holds up pretty well. Treatment of women throughout was pretty appalling.
