First of all, I love the concept of a mockumentary about high school football fanatics. The subject is ripe for spoofing. In fact I’m surprised Rob Reiner hasn’t thought of it yet. 4th and Long is a sad and hilarious look at this uniquely American phenomenon.
When the New Hanover Wildcats lose their funding, a band of obsessive local weirdos pull together to save the season and the program. They come up with the idea of an adult flag football game with local celebrities to raise money. What ensues is a wonderfully deadpan, eerily believable, and overall well done film with some priceless moments and a cast that seems like they were born to play these roles. I would highly recommend checking this one out!
