SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
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.
elshikh4 I'm not a big fan of (Will Ferrell), but sure he did it good this time. The story of the movie is old, predictable, whatever, but I loved its new and simple details. Not the greatest comedy, but it does amuse.Deep down inside it's about the reuniting between a father and his son, a very late one caused by the selfishness, vanity, and impudence of the father. And it's about another reuniting between that son and his own son as well, where the movie reveals that some times we, unintentionally, become the fathers we hated. Well, take it from me, some comedies give nothing to their substances, but not here.The level of the comedy itself wasn't bad. (Ferrell) is the whole show. He shows noticeable vitality, using his persona, as a middle-aged, middle-class, so idiot kind man, mixing it with his own style of cute nervousness or outward – mostly fake – coolness. So the best part of this movie is sure the sequences of his character going mad because of so much coffee. It said a lot about his talent and the damages of coffee !In his serious scenes he wasn't as good, mainly due to his face and eyes. Though, he managed to do them appropriately. (Robert Duvall) acted like a real provoker. Despite his old age he looked fresh. Real life trainer (Mike Ditka) was incredible as himself, or the spoof of himself. And I liked how that script went to rescue the team at last by the idea of "doing the opposite of everything I taught you". We have a hero who ended unlike the way he began, with some real entertaining time. Hence, I loved it more than the based on true story movie, from the same year, about another trainer, his son and team : Coach Carter. It is simply better. At least this one has a memorable quote: "If we felt hungry, we'll gonna eat Byong Sun" !!
abdullah khirfan i really liked this movie its so awesome, especially byang song he's so funny. Its not just about soccer like the other movies, it contains funny scenes and really somehow i like the way the dad and son compete with each other. The song ZUMA ZUMA BAKA LA is so awesome during the game when they started playing soccer successfully, i really advise everybody to watch the movie especially people who like to watch family movies for kids and the parents. Will Ferrell ... Phil Weston Robert Duvall ... Buck Weston Mike Ditka ... Mike Ditka Kate Walsh ... Barbara Weston They are really great actors and their roles suits their personalities
thewoofys Phil Weston is an average person who has had to take his father Buck's over-competitiveness throughout his childhood, an upbringing which has left permanent psychological scars. Now middle-aged, married, with a young son named Sam. Phil runs a small vitamin store, whilst his Buck operates a local chain of sports stores, and a big one.Buck is manager of the Gladiators, the most successful little-league soccer team in the district. Sam is on the squad, but to his parent's annoyance his grandfather keeps him as a bench warmer rather than playing him, a humiliation he also visited upon his son decades prior. Buck eventually transfers Sam to the Tigers, the league's worst side. I don't want to give to much away so, thats the end
