Synopsis

Goldie Hawn stars as a divorced mother who dreams of coaching high school football but who collides with sexist opposition. Only when the principal of the roughest inner-city school in Chicago challenges her to take a job everyone else refuses, does she finally get her chance. But tackling the opposition--including tough jocks (Mykel T. Williamson, Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson) and a combative ex-husband--may prove too daunting a task in this gridiron comedy.

    One of the better sports comedies from the 1980'…

    06 December 2008
    It may not score many points for originality, but this comedy is still tremendously entertaining and one of my personal favorites from the 1980s. Plenty of memorably funny moments, some great one-liners and excellent performances by the entire cast, with Goldie doing a stand-out job and Nipsey Russell making the most of his relatively small role as the beleaguered high school principal who desperately wants gridiron glory for his school's team. Veteran director Michael Ritchie definitely knows how to perk up a formula story and make it seem lively and new again, even if we DO see the feel-good finale coming a mile away.

    Stay tuned through the end credits for a funny rap song performed by Goldie and her team.
