i be originally go to give this movie a two rating . but for two reason only i bump it up to a 4 ( which be still bad btw ) the two character that make this movie even remotely watchable be wes and big mac . it be pretty sad when two child support actor upstage you and put out a good performance mr. lawrence . i think i may have crack a smile twice in this whole film . and only one genuine laugh . in the entire comedy film . it be awful . how many movie do we have to watch about child sport that aren not exactly the same thing a the last . this movie have every clichéd element you could expect all the way down to the coach try to get the class nerd to growl and do the mean face . we have so see that before . i also cant figure out where they come up with the music for this movie . i be sure i must have accidentally slip into a time warp . they have hip hop and i guess u could say rock from th 80 and early 90 . what the heck be that about in 2005. i only hear one song that be remotely recent ( last year or two ) and it be a crappy play out outkast song . bravo to the young actor that play wes and mac because they make it possible for me to finish this movie without gorge my eye out . it be also nice to see megan mullally a the school principal but she be totally waste in this part . they should have give her something more to her story and some more line because she be one funny woman and i be sure it would have improve it some . overall this movie be dreadful so unless your 8 year old force you to sit through it i suggest you avoid it like the plague .
