Nope.

I don't think there is a subgenre in the entire film world that is as rigid as the sports film. Are there any films in that genre that deviate from the norm?

Ferrell also didn't fit in this movie at all. Truly a children's film through which Ferrell occasionally struggles. Nice in itself, but not in between this childish hassle. And what the hell Duvall is doing here is a complete mystery to me.

Film has one or two funny moments, otherwise it is mainly watching a film that you have seen 100 times before, only with a rather strange steamroller in the mix.

Ferrell isn't exactly a one-trick pony, all the worse when they try to dab him like that in a movie he doesn't belong in at all.

1.0*

A film about Football, and then a comedy. A rather nice subject, not that I'm a fan of this sport but since there aren't too many in this category yet. Ferrell is fun in his role, but he was one of the few things in the movie that actually got me laughing. The jokes are very bland, and these have been used more often in other films. Oh well .. he was entertaining to see for once. In any case, it is not recommended.

2.5*

Very predictable and standard sports video, in which a new coach is faced with a bunch of losers and eventually becomes champion after a good period, a bad period in the final and finally a comeback in the final.

What makes this film fortunately different is Will Ferrell, this man is such a pleasantly crazy idiot and still provides a number of silly situations and fun jokes for a higher entertainment level. Have to say that the roles of Ditka and Duvall were also very nice.

Unfortunately, the kids themselves were a bit anonymous, despite the various types. Fortunately, thanks to an idiot Ferrell, I managed to entertain me with this conveyor belt product.
