scottmalecki It really was horrible. Thank god I couldn't sleep and it was on. It is actually amazing that they have the kid's place to live saved by a generic fat character that placed a bet "IN VEGAS" on a kids soccer team. I was waiting for the movie to go on with Steven Guttenberg's character (Gambling addict) saying that he would raise money the correct way. I'm no bible thumper, but this was amazing. Nice "lesson taught". ?????? Movie sucked by the way. Characters were ordinary, and generic, and the acting was horrible. They, managed to make Steve Guttenberg into a great actor. The kids were all generic with the short kid, the fat kid, and mean coach of the other team who was hell bent on ruining the HOME TEAM's hopes and dreams. I don't know. It was certainly a Mighty Ducks ripoff, but I am also shocked that MIGHTY DUCKS was able to spawn sequels.

the_moody_youngest This movie was good. It had lots of laughs, some good soccer fun, the slightest bit of drama, not too much, but just enough to make an average good film. It wasn't perfect, but I loved it! The best part about it was, it was a lot of fun! You went through different types of humor, from sarcastic to one humorous part about a really nasty fart.Steve Guttenburg did a good job turning from a party animal to a handy-man/soccer coach. My sister rented this and i was like, no this movie is gonna be crap! But when I watched it, i laughed really hard, and just smiled a couple of times. This movie was average and totally worth watching. Its funny and has great soccer in it!

dragoonjay This movie was a waste of the celluloid it was printed on. It is a disastrous scene, much like a particularly gruesome train wreck.Watching this is like trying to explain the meaning of life. The main plot point is that the character played by Steve Guttenberg is a party animal who's not supposed to gamble, because that would violate his parole. The kids he befriends refuse to play with him as coach for a while, because he gambles. BUT... a few minutes later, after they've won the championship, a large sum of money saves their shelter. And where did they get the money? GAMBLING!!! Add this to the creepy scenes at the funeral home (why exactly are there BEDROOMS in a funeral home?) and the useless peripheral character

rastaguy Classic Guttenberg... over the years, Steve has dazzled us time and time again. In this 1999, tear-jerking saga of a compulsive gambler turned lovable peewee boys soccer coach, he proves that it's not only knee-slapping Police Academyesque antics, but Oscar worthy screen composure that captures the respect and hearts of audiences worldwide.
