liam-ranga Probably one of the most classic and funny Will Farrell, you know they always say never work with animals or children but in this movie it is a delightful change.There are probably allot of people who disagree with me but this movie is one of my favorites. Seeing Will fighting for his dad's respect by coaching his sons soccer team that eventually goes on to verse his dad's soccer team just gave me a whole 95 minutes of warm hearted laughs and a nice nostalgic feeling.Although the plot wasn't two good the kids did some pretty decent child acting (I hate child actors) and comparing Josh Hutcherson then to Josh Hutcherson now this movie showed the potential of Josh Hutcherson as a child which at the end of the day ultimately made his career.I would recommend this movie to everyone looking for a comedy to add to there list it is just a really enjoyable movie with a star studded cast which back then weren't too famous. I gave this movie a 5.8 for the listed reasons above.

tsmit44 It's a nice film to watch and pretty amusing. The movie can't be compared to Talladega Nights so don't try. It's a family comedy mainly for children. Just because it's Will Ferrell people expect it to be nothing but laughs and silly acts but that wasn't the intention here. It had its funny moments and serious moments. A great movie for kids and for parents to watch with their kids. No explicit content but still can make a groan man chuckle.Robert Duvall and Mike Ditka's performances were much better than I anticipated and a bunch of the kids supplied some additional humor. I have watched it many times and even added it to my collection. If I categorize it I would probably put it with Ladybugs or Cool Runnings. Of course not a classic like The Mighty Ducks, Teen Wolf, or Sandlot but better than movies like Air Bud, any Angels movie, and The Big Green which are also pretty good children's movies.

Chrysanthepop 'Kicking & Screaming' is pretty much a typical football comedy about an underdog team that wins in the end. Nothing new here but the reason why I watched it and enjoyed it was because of the cast. Will Ferrell is fun to watch and a laidback Robert Duvall gives a funny relaxed performance as the jerk dad with a comic touch. The beautiful Kate Walsh plays the typical wife and mom and is pretty much there for star value and eye candy. I also enjoyed the scenes with the kids. The Byong Sun character was particularly funny. The film does occasionally derail as Ferrell's Phil gets hooked on coffee and turns into a maniac coach but then again, it made me laugh. Overall this isn't exactly a great film and it has nothing new to offer but it's good time pass as it draws some laughter. Perhaps that was director Jesse Dylan's intention.

morrison-dylan-fan After having enjoyed Will Ferrells other films,i decided to pick this one up,and while it is a present enough family film,it has a bit of a "Cookie cutter" feel to it. The plot:Ferrell is Phil Weston,a guy who has always tried to in press his dad Buck (Robert Duvall) at how he does sports,but he has sadly failed to do so.Yet when he sees his son football team without a coach,he decides that he should coach the team,so they beat the team his dad coaches and with help getting a co-coach in Mike Ditka,they start winning,but can they get to the final?View on the film:Direction:Director Jesse"son of Bob"Dylan is sadly unable to get the film past the point where you forget the other movies that are very like this(The bad news bears being the main one.)and the speed the team improve means that you don't get any feeling of joy when they win a match. Cast:While Ferrell gives a fine performance,the very surprising highlight is Mike Ditka as himself,who gives a really fun over-the-top performance as the co-coachFinal view on the Film:A pleasant enough film,with some fun performances,that is not able to get past a been-there-done-that feel.
