Everybody’s All-American (1988)
Dennis Quaid has been a double threat on the movie gridiron: a quarterback in “Any Given Sunday’’ (1999), a halfback here. Regardless of position, a back is only as good as his linemen. The best thing in “Everybody’s All-American’’ is that Quaid has John Goodman blocking for him, figuratively as well as literally. Goodman even gets his very own Dan Connolly moment early in the movie — leading to the winning touchdown in the Sugar Bowl, no less.—Mark Feeney
