DETAILED STORYLINE

Drama Action - Men, in particular football fans, should enjoy this look at the gridiron. Those less interested in sports may also find something of interest here. However, women may be put off by their gender's negative portrayal. The film's language and violence make it inappropriate for children.

Good

Any Given Sunday is a guy's film. And I say that not because it's a football film (though that does play a major part) but because it's an Oliver Stone football film--a fact that gives one an idea of how testosterone-happy this gridiron saga is. But let this be said: I enjoyed this film. Though it's being released in the thick of awards season and bears a number of Oscar winners on its team, Any Given Sunday is essentially a pure entertainment vehicle, and taken at that level, it works.

OPINION GRAPH

D ETAILED S TORYLINE

Tony D'Amato (AL PACINO), the head coach of the Miami Sharks football team, stands at the crossroads of his life. Struggling with mounting losses, sliding attendance and co-owner Christina Pagniacci (CAMERON DIAZ), who favors a take-no-prisoners style of management, D'Amato begins to take a hard look at where he stands both in and outside the stadium.

When a devastating hit knocks veteran star quarterback Jack "Cap" Rooney (DENNIS QUAID) out of the game, the Sharks' third-string quarterback, Willie Beamen (JAMIE FOXX), unexpectedly begins to stun both fans and management with his gridiron performance, throwing Rooney's future into doubt. D'Amato is forced to grapple with his long-cherished ideals of personal and professional loyalty as he is reminded that there's always someone younger, faster and stronger. . . not only on the field but on the sidelines as well.
