Kicking and Screaming is Another Must-Own Comedy from Will Ferrell!!!
An Awesome Story and Loveable characters make this movie one of Will Ferrells finest.
Initially I didn't care to see it, but I'm seriously glad I did.
Will Ferrell delivers his classic over-the-top performance. Ferrell is called upon to coach his sons new soccer team after Ferrells father (Robert Duvall) cuts Ferrells son Sam from his own soccer team. Ferrell then coaxes Mike Ditka (Da Bears) to help him coach the team. Ditka does an amazing job in this movie.
The team Ferrell coaches is the typical no-talent, all-heart mix of loveable characters made popular by movies along the lines of the Mighty Ducks and Little Giants. Two extrememly memorable characters are Byong Sun (played by Elliot Cho) and Mark Avery (played by Steven Anthony Lawrence)
Will Ferrell makes this movie what it is, without Ferrell this movie would've been a serious flop. I've always been a fan of Will Ferrell and this is just another one to add to the collection.
Final Verdict:
4/5
Rent or Buy?: If you're a fan of Will Ferrel this DVD definately belongs in your collection. However, if you find Ferrell too over the top, you might consider renting this one first.
IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.
So Good! Kicking & Screaming is a PG-rated Will Ferrell movie made for the family - kids will love the story and soccer (think Little Giants) and adults will love Will Ferrell who is as hilarious as ever (just with a G-rated tone). Whether you're a Will Ferrell die-hard fan or looking for a Friday night movie for the entire family - this is a 5/5 movie that is guaranteed to entertain. Mike Ditka is a great addition to the film - he pokes fun at himself and is great. Robert Duvall is great as the crazy father. And the bizarre Byong Sun is hilarious as the mislead kid and steals all of his scenes.
Not being a soccer fan doesn't keep me and my family from watching this one over and over... my 4 year old has referred to it as the soccer movie or "spitting angry" which Will Farrel says about 1/3 of the way into the movie and it cracks me up every time. I highly recommend this movie even if your not a soccer buff (I'm the opposite of a soccer buff.. I'm a hockey buff).
I find this movie to be very funny. I went to see this movie in theaters and loved it then too. When I saw it for sale on eBay I knew I had to get it. I think the whole theme is funny and GREAT at the end when he realizes winning is not everything...... AND THEY WIN!
Pretty good movie, grandson liked it, its not the kind of movie that I enjoy. I wanted to get some movies for my grandchildren that would keep them entertained for a little while. I probably won't keep it for my library.
My kids wanted us to buy this movie because they love soccer (ages 8 and 5). It was a very funny movie for them and they love to quote parts of the movie! I watched and it really struck me what some parents will do for sports. It's crazy. Anyway, good movie!
I never got the item and was never contacted. When the check cleared my bank a few days later I tried to send him an e-mail to see if item had been shipped. I got an e-mail stating seller was no longer a user on Ebay.
I bid on this movie because I love comedy and wanted to grow my DVD Collection. I recently found that I could do this for great prices and proven sellers. I loved the overall movie and wanted it in my collection.
I really liked this movie, although I had to explain to the kids about some of the things the Dad did in this movie. I had to explain about bad sportsmamship and they understood. It was a good family movie though. I recommend it a lot. I bought it because it was a good family movie.
I bought this for my son for Christmas. We rented the movie and he loved it, I bought it from you because you had great feedback and you had great prices. I have to say in all my years of dealing with Ebay you have to be the fasest shippers we will buy again thanks so much
