The Pullham Blue Cocks has been faced with a tragedy after their coach dies from a sudden heart attack brought on by cold water shock. With one of the worst teams in college football, dean Georgia Anne (played by Mo Collins) must find a new coach that will lead the team to some victories or the college will lose the football program. Being such a horrible team that never wins a game no one is going to apply for the position of head coach, except for Rick Vice (played by Andy Dick). Though he may be crazy, he might be a little extreme with his coaching manners, and he has a record for attempted murder on a pee wee football team, Coach Vice will not stop until he can whip, beat, kick, and torture his players into a team that will be a winning football team.

GET SOME MEANS:
Want a feel good movie that will inspire you or maybe a movie about football that will make you realize how fun the game is? If so than maybe you should go look under the letter R because Division 3 will only inspire you to laugh and groan while making you realize that this would never happen in real life. It might sound like that I’m putting down the movie, well I’m not, in fact I enjoyed it and found myself laughing more than I had expected I would after seeing the cast and plot of it. This is by no means anything new, the story is one that has been done so many times that it’s a cliché movie, though there is a reason why it is done so many times, that’s because it works and if done just with a mediocre amount of talent it will be fun to watch.

Division 3 is one of those movies that contains some crude and vulgar comedy, comments, and scenes but it fits well with this movie. It’s also what makes this movie funny, along with the comedy style of Andy Dick. This comedian/actor is one that I’ve found that with some movies I’ll like him a lot and in some he’s just too much and over the top. For this movie he has found a middle ground that allowed him to be over the top yet funny while doing it. Andy Dick looks great in this role as some psychotic, crazy, coach that will beat anyone to get them to do what he wants while talking trash to anyone that stands up to him, even though he can’t really back himself up. It’s this look he brings and that crazy side he already has for himself that made this character funny and is also the best character in the film.

There are some parts in the plot that seemed to just go nowhere really such as the love interest and the rival player. I kept waiting for more to happen with the plot point of having the second string quarterback Mitch DePrima (played by Marshell Cook) and the teams therapist Jennifer (played by Alison Haislip) but it goes nowhere. At times the characters are brought together in a scene where they look at each other, flirt a little, and make some stumbling moves but it’s only for a minute or two and then forgotten about. By the end of the movie it happens but by that point I didn’t really care much for that part of the story. Same goes for the rival QB Tyler Keys (played by Taymour Ghazi) who was once the quarterback for the Blue Cocks but then gets kicked off and goes to the rival team to play. Of course the teams are going to meet at the end of the movie for the big game but when they do the action falls flat and I didn’t see any fighting between the two QB’s that have it out for each other. Not only that but the game where the team are first getting beat down and then come back just was boring and had no real action to the scene. I wasn’t feeling it when watching, the music was a little too low key, the scenes had no point to work off of, and it was just boring. All this movie really has going for it is Andy Dick and the comedy of it. It’s funny and it made me laugh but it’s not an action movie that will inspire.

BLU RAY OF DIVISION 3:
Though there’s not much real action going on in this movie and it’s supported by the comedy, it does have a clean look to it. The night scenes didn’t have any grain or noise in them like I would have expected, the sound quality was sharp, and the colors had some nice vibrancy to them. Now there are some moments in the scenes that I would have liked the movie to be a little less clear but that’s only because of how raunchy the movie is, but the quality of the picture is nice. This same quality actually transfers over to the bonus features as well, which was a surprise because most of the time the bonus features will look rough because they haven’t been put through all the color correcting and editing.
