Varsity Blues (1999) **
There is a fairly decent film here, buried underneath an avalanche of Porky-like sex jokes and cliches (cheerleaders seducing quaterbacks, teachers moonlighting as strippers, fat slobs puking their guts out). A perfect example of an intelligent script being re-written by studio hacks to conform to their warped idea of a successful sports drama. Jon Voight hopelessly overracts, creating a campy caricature of a villain.
