	TheMovieBoy Review: Any Given Sunday (1999)
		Thus far, several reviews for "Any Given Sunday," Oliver Stone's fully charged ode to professional football, have stated that only those viewers who are fans of football will be able to enjoy it.
		Although I didn't like "Any Given Sunday" and I despise football, it is certainly one of the major pictures of its type that has a large chance to be enjoyed by several different sections of the adult population, whether they care for the sport or not.
		The Sharks are on a dismal losing streak and Christina, new to the profession, will stop at nothing to get positive results as the playoffs wind down, partially out of trying to please her deceased father, and also because she is quickly losing sight of the things that are most important in her life.

	Any Given Sunday - a Movie Review by The Phantom Tollbooth
		Without having any guidelines at all, he is free to whip this universe around in any way he possibly can, and in this case he does so with such great flair and craftsmanship that we end up enjoying the ride a little bit more than we actually should.
		It makes it hard for one to feel any sort of sympathy for the players, even when they are suffering at the hands of the team physician Harvey Mandrake (James Wood.) A realist to a fault, he drugs, dopes and downplays injuries, all in the "best interests" of the players.
		Oliver Stone is an undeniable talent, however, and in Any Given Sunday he is also rewarded by a cast of great actors, and I include in that group some of the cameos by actual NFL legends.

	Any Given Sunday (1999)
		Any Given Sunday appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Any softness or haziness was either intentional or part of the wide variety of source materials; no focus issues appeared due to other concerns.
		Footnote: A 2-disc set of Any Given Sunday with additional supplemental materials is available as part of the Oliver Stone Collection sets released on 01/06/01.

	Oliver Stone: Our Greatest Film Director
		Any Given Sunday is clearly the most mainstream film that Oliver Stone has ever directed, and by the end, it's also the most hopeful of all Stone films.
		In this way, Any Given Sunday is very similar to Stone's Vietnam films, where he placed the camera directly into combat and made us disoriented, experiencing what the soldier felt.
		Any Given Sunday is a movie experience that all sports fans should taste.

	Review: Any Given Sunday
		A case in point is Any Given Sunday, which, despite a potentially engaging story and a number of good performances, is at times unwatchable.
		Stone is an egomaniac; it's impossible to watch Any Given Sunday and not ponder the director's role in piecing together the film.
		Any Given Sunday is also about the warrior fraternity of football players, and how they cope with the inevitable end of their careers.

	Any Given Sunday Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		With "Any Given Sunday", director Oliver Stone ("U-Turn") dissects the glory and decadence of football, as seen through the stunning victories and stinging defeats of the fictitious Miami Sharks.
		"Any Given Sunday" starts off promisingly enough as an insightful commentary on the state of the sport, as Stone takes us through the ins-and-outs of professional football, from the snap decisions made on the field to the executive decisions made in the owner's office.
		However, given its contradictory narrative, possibly seizure-inducing overdone mix of images and noise, and patience-testing running time, "Any Given Sunday" does not warrant a recommendation, as much as I would like what Stone has done in the past.

	Movie Review: 'Any Given Sunday'
		The game sequences in "Any Given Sunday" simply rock and make us feel as close as most of us will get to the experience of playing pro football.
		He doesn't go off any deep ends here, letting issues take a back seat to his characters, which may be what makes the film so accessible.
		But "Any Given Sunday" is, after all, just about football and not anything important.

	DVDFILE.COM: ANY GIVEN SUNDAY review
		Much like many other films in recent memory, such as the sprawling Magnolia, there are several stories happening in Any Given Sunday, but they all crisscross in and out of each other and end up making a satisfying whole.
		Any Given Sunday removes all the tricks and just offers a really great movie from an extremely talented director.
		Warner originally released Any Given Sunday on DVD in September of 2000, as a single-disc edition with the longer director's cut, a documentary and a music video.

	Amazon.co.uk: Any Given Sunday [2000]: Al Pacino, Cameron Diaz, Dennis Quaid, James Woods, Jamie Foxx, L.L. Cool J., ...
		Oliver Stone's Any Given Sunday is a massive 150-minute American football drama which, for all its ferocity and cynicism, is as soft-centred and clichéd as any Rocky-style underdogs-make-good crowd-pleaser.
		I am not surprised that the NFL passed on getting behind "Any Given Sunday," because everybody in the Commissioner's office must be cringing at virtually every scene of the antics of these football players off camera.
		Any Given Sunday is a great piece of film making, if slightly tarred by an overly polished Hollywood format.

	Any Given Sunday
		Any Given Sunday is Oliver Stone's take on football.
		Any Given Sunday is made for the football fan with a short attention span.
		On a sadder note, the NFL declined to allow the use of any of their logos, resulting in the formation of the fictional AFFA, which includes teams like the Sharks, the Crusaders, the Knights, the Americans, the Rhinos, and other manly man names.

	DVD Review - Any Given Sunday
		His most recent effort, "Any Given Sunday", newly on DVD from Warner Home Video and coinciding with the beginning of the 2000 NFL Football season delivers not only in content, but on just about every other level as well.
		Some have criticized the football action in "Any Given Sunday" for being too broken, cut, or not able to be made sense of in the context of logical football action.
		The downside to this, though, is that I did have to adjust the volume down during periods of intense action and back up during lone dialogue scenes(which there happen to be only a few of without music or accompanying effects).

	Amazon.ca: Any Given Sunday (Widescreen Director's Cut): Oliver Stone, Al Pacino, Cameron Diaz, Dennis Quaid, James ...
		Any Given Sunday, Oliver Stone's salute-cum-exposé of pro football, belabors some pretty obvious points for nigh onto three hours; but between the frenetic editing, the pounding rap-music beats, and several flashy performances, it's certainly never dull.
		Any Given Sunday is a rough movie, both in terms production and in content.
		Still, Any Given Sunday is an entertaining movie, and fans of football, Oliver Stone, and movies overloaded with dizzying amounts of music and testosterone will no doubt be pleased by the time the credits roll.

	ESPN - In golf, anything can happen on any given Sunday - Golf
		Those are, incredibly, the words of Cristie Kerr, who apparently executed the way she wanted to on Sunday, shooting a final-round 70 with only one bogey.
		For the day, Kerr hit only half of the fairways and half of the greens in regulation, but her 28 putts were three fewer than she took in any other round and more than made up the difference between her and the second-place finishers.
		Storm was the 1999 British Amateur champion and holed the clinching putt for the GB&I squad in that year's Ryder Cup, but while teammates such as Paul Casey and Luke Donald took a direct path to stardom, Storm was, uh, detoured, to say the least.

	Film: Any Given Sunday
		So you can be sure that when he turns his attention to football, it's going to be big and noisy, if nothing else.
		Any Given Sunday presents football as spectacle, with obvious references to the gladiators of ancient Rome.
		Sunday is also investigating the growing number of compensation cases in Australia's courts deriving from claims of post-traumatic stress disorder.

	Any Given Sunday (1999)
		"Any Given Sunday" is a behind the scenes look at the life and death struggles of modern day gladiators and those who lead them.
		"Any Given Sunday" is a film that is a feast for the eyes, but not the mind.
		Stone does a great job for creating a dizzying direction, eye-opening visuals, and extremely loud sound, and he does all of this with the 2 and a half+ hours that he has to spare with the film but never does go deep into detail on the characters.

	1999 Any Given Sunday - Movie reviews, trailers, clips and stills
		While "Any Given Sunday" does paint a gritty picture of the business behind the game, it is first and foremost a loving tribute to America's greatest pastime (next to baseball).
		He's given up everything for the game, including his wife and children, and now he's faced with his own mortality on the field.
		In his own weird way, he delivers a marvelous piece of work that can be viewed on any given day of the week, all year long.

	:: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: Any Given Sunday (xhtml)
		Oliver Stone's ``Any Given Sunday'' is a smart sports movie almost swamped by production overkill.
		There's a stunning moment when he considers retirement and is ferociously challenged by his wife (Lauren Holly), who won't hear of it; he complains, ``ever since college, people have been telling me what to do.'' Even at 170 minutes, ``Any Given Sunday'' barely manages to find room for some of its large cast.
		It's as if the second unit came back with lots of full-frame shots of anonymous football players plowing into one another in closeup, and Stone and his editors thought they could use that to mask their lack of substantial, strategic, comprehensible sports action footage.

	"Any Given Sunday" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		Sunday is a film about the pressures of aging.
		It’s given in this movie that being an alcoholic, visiting a prostitute, and deserting your family for your career are all noble and wonderful things to do.
		The movie is not by any means as motivational as “Rudy” or “Rocky”, but should be enjoyed by most football players.

	ANY GIVEN SUNDAY, Al Pacino, Dennis Quaid, Cameron Diaz, LL Cool J
		She particularly appreciated seeing a woman (and Cameron Diaz at that) as an owner who busts balls and schemes cleverly, and yet weeps, with her boys or alone, as she pays the price for clawing to stay on top and to wield her power.
		As with any Oliver Stone movie, the themes are complex, but they are pulled together in a focused and dramatic way.
		An almost sweet aspects of Any Given Sunday are major acting roles taken on by some of the greats of the game.
