The history of sports movies — in seven minutes
Feb 8, 2016, 6:00 PM
After the Super Bowl Sunday night, The Late Late Show with James Corden took over the airwaves with a primetime slot on CBS.
It may have been the best exposure for this version of the show, with Corden as host, since it premiered last March.
Corden brought back a recurring bit on the program — re-enacting as many movies as possible in seven minutes. In past skits, he highlighted the works of Tom Hanks and Matt Damon, among others.
But with sports on people’s minds following Denver’s Super Bowl 50 win, Corden re-enacted the sports movies genre, with help from Adam Devine, Anna Kendrick and Zac Efron.
The quartet tackled Hoosiers, Any Given Sunday, the Rocky franchise and many more.
Critics have credited this as Efron’s best work ever.
Just kidding! Nobody said that. But seriously, this was way better than Neighbors.
