Is it just me or does Woody Harrelson's girlfriend in this look like a bird?
“Hang on to my dick and balls!”
You’re not ready for the amount of times they talk about genitals in this
As a lifelong Seattle Supersonics fan, I did not expect this movie to reopen that wound 💔. So…. thanks for that.
Otherwise, it’s a really cute film with an inclusive heart, despite being a very paint by numbers sports movie. “Seattle Sucks!”
Degrees of Kevin Bacon: 2
1. Kailtyn Olson and John Lithgow in Leap Year
2. John Lithgow and Kevin Bacon in Footloose
One of those perfectly fine and adequate and sometimes cute American comedy films with lots of schmaltzy moments that your parents would probably love.
It's incredibly cliché and predictable, but it's also really funny and heartfelt, enough to redeem itself and turn it into something at least a little bit enjoyable.
”Are we living in Hoosiers now, and I should go home and work on my inspirational locker-room speeches?”
There's a tradition in filmmaking to not talk about the next step until you've climbed the one in front of you. I'm sure going to the Oscars is beyond your wildest dreams, so let's just keep it right there.

This is so meta. Dee from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia finally succeeded in her dream of being an actress in a film where she plays an actress but, she just performs Shakespeare for middle school kids.
Way too long and low-energy to really give these cliches any unique personality but I kind of respect that unlike Peter who went the McKay route and cashed in his studio comedy chips for Oscar gold Bobby Farrelly went solo and made a genuine throwback to the sincere, familiar comforts of the kind of inspirational underdog sports movie/romantic dramedy that doesn't really exist anymore. Harrelson makes a lot of sense as a Bad News Bears style middle-aged, drunken asshole coach and despite the dated, maybe worrisome premise for some of him forced to do community service for a Special Olympics regional qualifier this is far more warm and cute than it is mean or vulgar. So much so that it…
