In a season derailed by a players’ strike, *The Replacements* delivers a joyful and unexpectedly heartwarming comedy centered on a ragtag team of football outcasts. Coach Jimmy McGinty, a gruff but dedicated mentor, assembles a crew of washed-up players and overlooked hopefuls, offering a second chance at a dream long abandoned.
