Sep 25, 2014 If you like Jerry Maguire as I do, this is an entertaining cliff hanger in the realm of NFL draft day gamesmanship.

A surprisingly compelling story that shows how elitist professional sports has become. The NFL is big money and this film gives us a little taste of the deep-pocket culture that is American football. On the other side, It was sad to see…

a GM old enough to be the dad of the gal he is dating (Garner) wheels and deals his way through the NFL Draft, Arrowhead appears, quality manipulation.

Truth and lies. Consequences. Many actors are themselves. Commentary .

High stakes game of fast talk, bluff and wits. Not to mention pairs of hard ones. A fun, tough suspenseful film.

More accessible to those into sports, but the plotting of the draft "plotting" is clever.

This is a 2014 American sports drama directed by Ivan Reitman. The premise revolves around the general manager of the Cleveland Browns deciding what to do when his team acquires the number one draft pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. It's…

enjoyable for sports fans but not believable and the romance is silly.

Enjoyable film. Serves as a good primer of how the football draft system works. Shows all the behind-the-scenes activities to actually get to select a teams draft choice. Liking the 'older' Kevin Costner films.

Watched this 2013-filmed DVD on the weekend before the draft. If you are a fan of the Browns you will love this movie. Otherwise, 4-stars. (If you are NOT a football fan don't watch it. 3-stars!) The movie centers on whether the team…

I saw the movie and I had liked it this is based on a true story but not for children to watch this is for the football teams and coaches and referee's to watch

Watchable but not believable.

Great cast and interesting script. Burstyn and Elliot talents are wasted, but a pay check is a pay check. Costner shines as does Langella and Garner. In fact I would have to say that this is my favorite role for Garner.

KEVIN COSTNER ONE OF MY FAVORITES EVEN IN WATER WORLD WITH LOW RATINGS AND PROFIT. THE DRAFT IS VERY COMPLICATED AND INTENSE. HARD TO FOLLOW ALL THE PICKS FOR ROUNDS AND HORSE TRADING FOR DRAFTS FOR NEXT 1, 2, 3 FUTURE YEARS. SURPISED…

I thought this was a good movie all in all. I've never paid too much attention to the draft, so it was interesting to see how things went down. Jennifer Garner wasn't that good, but Kevin Costner did a good job. The only thing I…

If this is what these guys go through in real life, I don't envy them.... This movie had me mesmerized as it traverses a span of twelve hours in the life of a football general manager before the draft hits. I didn't think Costner and…

An interesting sports movie with a nice romance and family conflict subplot. Seems pretty realistic too! I found it interesting as they frame Draft Day as if it is a full four quarter football game of intrigue and deal making.

You knew Costner was going to win in the end, and it does surprise, but maybe not enough. Worth the watch, and, the wait till the end. Good excuse for a bowl of popcorn.

A bit melodramatic as the Browns GM, Costner's character, has a lot of personal and professional drama hit the fan right as the NFL draft day comes up. More than enough drama for the movie. The GMs in this movie sure don't have any plan…

I like Kevin Costner in the Football parts of this movie. He looked really uncomfortable doing the contrived relationship scenes that ruined the flow and focus of this film. More back room football stuff would of made this a much better…

This turned out to be quite a good movie. There are some major holes in the movie and the whole romance thing was not well done but overall very well done and entertaining.

The first 2 acts were surprisingly compelling and then it gets all Hollywood in the third act. Costner is solid, but Jennifer Garner isn't as strong of a character as she needs to be. She comes across more as an assistant than an…

Enjoyed this one. Nice to see a movie that is not filled with vulgar language and sex and that the entire family can watch together. How can you not love Kevin Costner, Jennifer Garner and Ellen Burstyn? Nice surprise.
