Commercialism works

Rating: 6/10 (10 April 2001)

This movie is pretty good, but I can see the Disney `Movie Recipe Book' all over it. There are the characters the start out disliking each other but learn respect and become close friends. There is the very smart and cute little girl. The coach is of course unreasonably tough on his team (how about a nice jog in the middle of the night for bounding purposes?). Add frequent hugging and lots of group singing and dancing (does anybody actually do this stuff in real life?!?). I'll bet you can guess who wins the big game in the end.
