About
You’ll likely enjoy this rowdy sports comedy if you want laughs from a rough-edged coach and a group of kids who don’t fit in; Not for you if you want a clean family sports movie or crave fresh originality like Me and Orson Welles or Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood.
Pros: charming misfit team; funny adult humor; likable coach energy | Cons: rough remakes criticism; profanity/lewd content; originality concerns
