Review of Varsity Blues (1999) by Veronika V — 14 Aug 2009

Before I watched "Varsity Blues," I wasn't expecting it to be a great movie. But it turned out to be better than great, it's spectacular. Moxon (James Van Der Beek) is a football player who doesn't get the recognition he thinks he deserves because he is in the shadow of the starting quarterback, Lance. When Lance gets injured, Moxon becomes the new starting quarterback. He has to learn to be the team's new leader and how to deal with being the superstar.

"Varsity Blues" is an all-around great movie. It has a great plot and even better acting, especially by Jon Voight as Coach Kilmer, James Van Der Beek as Moxon, and Ron Lester as Billy Bob. It's a great movie with a lot of drama, and it has one of the best endings of any movie I've seen lately. Billy Bob is the one that really makes this movie and after you see it, you'll know what I'm talking about. I recommend anybody to get "Varsity Blues." Note: That was my Amazon review from the year 2000. I'd have to see it again to know how it really stacks up to me.
