1. Draft Day movie review & film summary (2014) | Roger Ebert
Apr 11, 2014 · The star-studded and cameo-heavy “Draft Day” arrives to offer viewers a behind-the-scenes look at how an NFL team can be broken or salvaged.
Both too “inside baseball” for non-NFL fans to care and not nearly character-driven enough at the same time, this film about the NFL draft is cluttered, noisy, and often nonsensical.
