Brandy Gold, Bruce McGill, Goldie Hawn

Goldie Hawn plays a physical education teacher who gets a chance to coach an inner-city high school football team. If that sounds contrived, it is, but in the hands of director Michael Ritchie (Smi...( read more  read more... )le), the jokes all fire, and there's plenty of comedy teased out in details. (The cheerleading squad has some funny moments just belting out their morale-boosting chants.) The supporting cast has a couple of significant up-and-comers: Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes. --Tom Keogh

    One of the best footie films I have seen and with a brilliant cast of up coming stars. Its actually pretty funny in many places, lots of typical raunchy comedy and naughty laughs which is the staple diet of an 80's cheap teen flick haha Goldie adds a sexy touch but also makes it ...( read more)quite endearing too.

    Snipes and Harrelson show what they could do when they were good in films, whilst the rest of the cast are really good, not just hammy add on's, they all do a good job which really raises this above the dross.

    Looks good and has a nice soundtrack

    A good coming of age comedy as Goldie Hawn gets to coach a football team. A lot like Coach Carter and it has a genuine feel good feel to it.

    Very early roles for future buddy partners Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes in a Goldie Hawn vehicle about a high school football team. The script obviously just spewed forth upon the utterance of those 9 words, but it could have been a lot worse.
