The Bad News Bears meets Dangerous Minds

Rating: 7/10 (7 September 2001)

Ok,this is a formula film but it works. It's a cross between "The Bad News Bears" and "Dangerous Minds".It is very well acted by all the kids and Keanu Reeves is good.I could have did without the tear jerker twist but it worked and the audience at the sneak preview ate it up. Diane Lane deserved more screen time but she did the most with what she was given. It's unoriginal but a whole lot better than I expected it to be. This could be be the fall's first sleeper hit if marketed right.
