Varsity Blues, a comedy with the ambition to be a drama, but without the
necessary substance. more |

| Varsity Blues is neither a good film nor a bad one, but rather a
mediocre production that had the potential to be far better, but could
have slipped even lower as well. In some areas it was masterful, and
other were equivalently pathetic to put it...more |
