 Brian Robbins
directs this comedy about the pressures facing high school football
players. Paul Walker plays the first-string quarterback, James
Van Der Beek is the second-string QB, and Jon Voight is a revered
coach. Scott Caan also stars, and Barry Switzer has a cameo.
In his 35th year as head coach, Bud Kilmer (Jon Voight) is trying
to lead his West Canaan Coyotes to their 23rd division title.
Uncompromising and omnipotent, Kilmer is deified in the small
Texas town, as long as the team is winning.
But when star quarterback Lance Harbor (Paul Walker) suffers
a season-ending injury, the Coyotes are forced to regroup under
the questionable leadership of second-string quarterback Jonathan
Moxon (James Van Der Beek). His irreverent attitude and approach
to football come into direct conflict with the coach's inflexible
game plan.
"Varsity Blues" explores our obsession with sports
and how teenage athletes respond to the extraordinary pressures
placed on them. It's a comedy with lots of heart, a movie that
is as much about teen angst and adults' loss of perspective as
it is about high school football....
