Make no mistake about it, this is not a very good movie. I just about hit the eject button on the DVD player to put an end to the nonsensical movie called Superdome. I stuck it out to the very end because I really like David Janssen, Peter Haskell, Susan Howard, and Tom Selleck. And I absolutely love the beautiful and talented Donna Mills....she is gorgeous in any movie. But even her beauty could not save this turkey of a film. The plot was about what you would expect, but the subplots were laughable. What really made them ridiculous was terrible casting. Whoever cast these stars in their roles didn't have a clue as to what they were doing. For example, Donna Mills' character pursuing an intimate relationship with David Janssen? Not believable. Even worse was the aging and overweight Ken Howard cast as an all-pro cornerback was just plain ludicrous. The only one that really was a good fit was Tom Selleck as the starting quarterback for one of the teams. Selleck was in great shape in his pre-Magnum days and looked comfortable in his roll. When I bought this movie and saw all these fine actors were in this movie I thought it might not be too bad....can't win them all I guess. I would not recommend this movie unless you have absolutely nothing else to do.
