Summary - OK 2.5
Drunkard has-been coach Bill is given a second chance… with the Girl’s basketball team. This, in a Hoosier town where basketball is king. The movie has a predictable formula: rocky start with girls who aren’t that in to it, tough going with ex-wife and estranged daughter, turnaround when the girls see the good in him, emotional game wins, etc. So, it was an Ok movie with a made-for-TV feel. It has many funny and light moments and would be serve well as a family friendly movie night attraction.
Acting - OK 2.5
Sam Rockwell overdoes the jaded coach bit, but is Ok. Young Emma Roberts (daughter of Erik and niece of Julia) shows her potential, but she’ll have to shake it up a bit to make it in the big leagues. Margo Martindale and Rob Corddry are decent as the assistant coach and principal.
