I'm gonna be quick.
Very few movies make me laugh out loud in the theatre but this one had me snickering audibly on at least 5 or 6 occasions.
I love Will Ferrel. He has a certian kind of comedy that can be repetitious to some but I've loved his stuff since Saturday Night Live and his skits with Molly Shannon.
Basically this is the story of a man who's never won anythign in his life who has a father that's all about winning and competition. When Will's character's son get's traded to another (loser) team, Will steps in as a coach and quickly learns that...his team really really sucks wind.
Mike Ditka, sworn enemy and neighbour of uber competitive grandfather get's roped in to a) piss off grandpa and b) whip the team into shape.
Eventually Will's character goes from being happy to just have fun... to being a total winning maniac like his father. The team starts winning (especially when they recruit some Italian brothers) and make it to the championship game.
la la la love and happy endings everyone's a winner. It's a good family film. Not to mention it had previews for Harry Potter and Bewitched. oooh yeah.
