Review - Kicking & Screaming

I have a cold, we’re starting to pack to move and the movie was stupid, so I’m just going to steal somebody’s review from IMDB.

Phil Weston has been unathletic his entire life. In college he failed at every sport that he tried out for. It looks like his 10-year old son, Sam, is following in his footsteps. Sam is riding the bench on the best soccer team in the league, which just happens to be coached by Phil's father, Buck. Buck has been competitive his whole life and winning is everything to him. Buck trades Sam to the last place Tigers team. The coach of the Tigers quits, and Phil agrees to become the new coach, even though he has never coached in his life. Phil gets a neighbor, Mike Ditka, to help him coach and soon is as obsessed with winning as his dad. Mike recruits two Italian soccer kids to play for the Tigers and start winning. They get to play in the championship game against Buck's team.

Me again. Of course, halfway through the championship, Phil realizes how out of control he’s become. He apologizes to the team and tells them to play for fun. They win the game at the last second with Sam scoring the winning goal with a move one of the Italian kids taught him.

Stupid all the way through, but with the occasional part that was just so stupid we couldn’t help chuckling.
