a blatant rip off of air bud and this movie be really about parent worry too much about parent . all the foible of the character ( eg while adult coach who dont know the game ) be take to the extreme so much so that they be totally unbelievable and not funny . there be no semblance of reality here and folk and you will not develop sympathy for any of the character . the best thing about the movie be the good look kit ( uniform ) of the oppose team in the first game the dog play . perhaps choose because the setting be supposedly near arlington height and il and the home of the columbus crew franchise player and brian mcbride .
