Very well written vehicle for Goldie Hawn with introductory roles for Wesley Snipes and Woody Harelson. Older movie that never-the-less remains undated despite the passage of some time. Somewhat predictable comedy but the quality of the jokes and the well-balanced acting ability of key and supporting cast members far over-shadows minor predictability. Great evening of laughs for the whole family despite minor cursing and small amount of sexual enuendo. Broad appeal to all age groups, racial identities, and gender groups. Well crafted and worthy of repeat viewings. Highly recommended by this reviewer!
Goldie does a great job as the coach who always wanted to be in a mans changing world, although I don't believe she had any need to pose nude in the tub as her acting was superb. Harleson is still in character with the foul mouth, however he is becoming a better actor. The plot is not totally unique, however, it creates a great movie of the underdog becoming the winner through hard work and the right guidance. Not quite Excellent in my book but definately really good!
I love this movie and plan on showing it to my class. It shows how determination can get you what you want. Goldie Hawn goes through a world of hurt as a Varsity Football coach at a rough high school. Despite everyone expecting her to fail, she comes out on top and her players respect her for it. The language is harsh and the content can be kind of sketchy, but it is a good movie for motivational purposes.
I bought this for my cousin, and she's loves this movie, and says it's great.
