One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

How this movie is reviewed so lowly and how it hasn't been remade yet starring Jennifer Hudson. Get on it.

This is a great, to-the-point sports comedy starring Goldie Hawn as Molly McGrath who takes on her dream job of coaching high school football, despite doubts from her ex-husband and colleagues, and despite the football team being one of the rowdiest, rudest and most difficult bunch of athletes in the city.It's an entertaining comedy from start to finish, with Molly exhibiting her never-say-quit attitude to win over the resentments and resistance of the high school team, which consists of a young Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson. Her mission in getting her team in shape to end their winning games drought is captivating, as is the supporting subplot of her home-life when she tries to retain custody of her two daughters from her uptight ex-husband Frank (James Keech).The plot is a bit predictable but Goldie Hawn provides enough drama, wit and humor to keep the movie engaging, as does the football players. I enjoy the scenes where Molly tries to gain their respect and where she outruns the boys in a track race, giving them a taste of their own medicine. The relationship between Molly and her daughters were pretty uplifting and she shows that balancing life between family and a career is entirely capable. A great, feel-good sports comedy.Grade A

I'm not sure why anyone would completely dislike this movie. It's fun and probably better than the rating here. Goldie Hawn is very good, she's bubbly (something she's great at,) charming and tough when she needs to be. Features the first ever roles for both Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes as well as LL Cool J's first time on screen! One thing that helps me like this a lot is the Chicago locations. The main plot and sub-plots are a bit thin but overall it's a good football comedy. I had probably seen this easily like 5 or 6 times but this was the first time in about 20+ years! Was just as good as ever!!6.5 / 10 stars--Zoooma, a Kat Pirate Screener

Pretty silly Goldie Hawn comedy from 1986 about a team of rough hooligans on a football team who get a new coach: Goldie Hawn. Lots of innuendo and guys making sexual references about Hawn soon dissipate as they realize she's actually pretty good.I saw it on Dinner and a Movie. Nothing very memorable; save your money.2/5 stars.
