We all know people like this!!!
I was lucky enough to see a preview of this very funny relevant movie sponsored by a local soccer club. It is a must see for all parents involved in organized sports or any gathering or parents these days. Its funny, the acting is very real - you may think you know these people and see them in your local coffee store!!
Hopefully those who display this bad behavior will think next time they yell from the sidelines
A MUST SEE!!!!
Kicking and Screaming is Comedy of the Century Compared to Thus Junk
Very irrelevant and totally ridiculous exaggerated comparisons to real soccer extremism by youth soccer parents and coaches made this movie painful and laughable (not in a comedic way but laughable by the screenwriter and actors. Seemed as though this was Jeaninne Garafalo's acting debut she was so bad. Not in the least bit funny or relevant for the subject. Made Will Farrell's 'Kicking and Screaming' seem like movie of the decade. Btw. My kid's have had really bad coaches in soccer, so I know the subject.
STOP YELLING AT MY KID!
Kathy (Janeane Garofalo) moves into a new town where soccer and soccer politics is the norm. She goes from a normal mom to an obsessed soccer mom where all that matters is her eight year old's game, one that she is bored with and doesn't want to play. The team is coached by Nick (Christopher Titus), an overly repulsive man who makes sure his own daughter gets plenty of playing time.
The film is humorous with its mock MTM opening and had me laughing at certain scenes. The writing failed to capitalize on the situations, many times going stray of the plot and resorting to formula, with scenes being hit and miss. There were some scenes that were best left on the cutting room floor, such as the cyber sex scene that never tied back into the film.
On a side note, in real life Janeane is a devout atheist. In the film she is moved to pray to God for her girl's soccer.
The film had good characters and is worth a rental.
Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex...
