Out-of-luck coach Lambeau Fields takes a rag-tag bunch of college misfits and drives them towards the football championships. In the process, this life-long loser discovers that he is a winner after all by redeeming himself, saving his relationship with his family and friends, and finding that there is indeed, no "I" in "team"!

Top Critics Reviews

Someone should tell these guys you can't score a touchdown throwing lateral passes.

The Comebacks is probably the worst movie that's sludged across my professional eyeballs -- worse than Daddy Day Camp, Baby Geniuses 2, and BloodRayne.

There is no I in "team," but there are three in "idiotic." And idiotic more or less describes the appeal of The Comebacks, a so-stupid-it's-funny spoof of inspirational sports dramas.

Sports fans (including those with old head injuries) are likely to cheer. The rest of us may just go for the long pass.

The dialogue in The Comebacks is bereft of lines that trigger even a snicker.
