Good Family Movie

x265

Went to see this today. The plot is hes a college basketball coach that cant control his temper. He loses it and attacks a Mascot. The league then bans him for life. His agent finds a clause in the rule book that they have to give him a second chance. But it doesn't say they have to let him coach the college team. A middle schooler from his old middle school sees him on TV, and tries to contact him to coach his schools losing team. He accepts the job to show the college league he can be a good coach.

This movie starts off very boring, but kicks up after the first 30 minutes. Its also very predictable, but has a good heart. People slam this movie for being predictable, but how many ways can you flip this story line? (Spoiler)Yes he does a good job turning around the middle school team, and the college league wants him back in the end. Of course he declines because of the bond he formed with the team.(/Spoiler) It doesn't take anything away from it, its still a good movie. I say go out and take the kids, it a very enjoyable family comedy.

I give it 3.25 out of 4.

score 8/10
