Jackson Booth-Millard I had heard the title a few times before, and I may have occasionally watched the television cartoon series Disney created that was loosely based on this, so I had to see what it was all about, from director Stephen Herek (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, 101 Dalmatians). Basically young hotshot lawyer Gordon Bombay (The Breakfast Club's Emilio Estevez) is arrested for drink driving, and the court orders him to serve community service by coaching a children's hockey team, not very good in their league, and of course he is not happy. As he gets to know the youngsters though, and gains their like for him as well, he teaches them good skills of how to play and ultimately win a match. They also manage to get a sponsor and don the team name of The Ducks, but while all this is going on Gordon still has flashes from his past where he played hockey himself, watched by now apposing Coach Jack Reilly (Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman's Lane Smith), and he lost. It is coming close to the finals, and he is possible to lose the team due to his sentence having come to an end, and all the young members of The Ducks may be losing some hope for whatever reason. Of course everything comes back together in the end, Gordon watches his team score victory, and the last scene sees him going away to tryout in the minor league, and he promises to return for the next season (this obviously gives way for the sequels). Also starring Joss Ackland as Hans, Heidi Kling as Casey Conway, Joshua Jackson as Charlie Conway, Josef Sommer as Mr. Gerald Ducksworth, Elden Henson as Fulton Reed, Shaun Weiss as Greg Goldberg, Lost's M.C. Gainey as Lewis and Matt Doherty as Lester Averman. I will be completely honest and say that I didn't pay the fullest of attention to this, but even if I had I doubt I would have been entertained all the way through, it seemed pretty dull and rather predictable, it may have the heartwarming and sporty moments, but overall not a great family sports comedy. Adequate!

flip_air Ah, when I was just a little old man I remember watching this movie on channel 13.At times, this movie has some scenes that are just absurd. But, being a kids movie, it just adds to the humor and feel. It also has a great message about what's important in life and the responsibilities a kid has to face as he or she becomes more mature. What can I say? This movie is a classic. I would tell anyone to do themselves a favor and go watch it, before I turn them into cheeseburgers.Oh, and yes, I meant to say little old man. Do you have a problem with that? If you have a problem with that, you can just go quack yourself.

Pepper Anne Despite the tremendously clichéd plot--that of an aging fallen athletic hero who loses faith in himself and disinterest in the sport until he has the opportunity to turn a misfit team into a victorious one with hard work and much-needed nurturing--the Mighty Ducks is probably for those youngsters of the early 1990s what films like the Karate Kid were to those youngsters of the mid-80s. One of the classics, a guilty pleasure we secretly don't switch off when channel surfing on lazy weekend afternoons. One that marked early careers or more well-known stars today (with the most obvious being a prepubescent Joshua Jackson). For hockey fans alone, it may be enjoyable, despite hockey movies never being very inventive in the tell of the tale (see Youngblood and Miracle for other examples of the same old, same old). But nonetheless, it is still a valued time capsule and a feel good movie that yes, cheesy and clichéd and dated (no one really does much roller-blading anymore--see the practice scenes, can still be enjoyed.

Amsomnia Studios No matter what people would say this movie is a classix it is the story about a man who forgot what sports all is about he is one day taken from drinking and driving and on that day he begins to wake up he had forgotten his past his memories because he would not open his eyes but then he gets a team an ice hockey team and well everything else you need to find out Emilio plays a really great and beautiful part in this movie and so does everyone else it is worth to see this movie and just do see Emilio play what he plays best hehe it is a funny and touching movie about opening a new chances in some ways well anyway what more is there to say then BUY IT SEE IT LOVE IT
