I can understand why these unknown child actors were involved with this movie but as for the grown-ups, all I can figure is that they were each fulfilling some kind of community service obligation.

It must be said that this movie is sweet and innocent, and that at a certain level it might appeal to younger kids. I doubt if its ambitions reach much beyond that.

A poorly directed and utterly predictable yarn aimed at the small fry, who will probably be entertained by its simplicity.

The script by Steven Brill is pure formula and totally predictable. He takes absolutely no chances.

I chose to work as a cashier at a gas station over being an extra in this. I chose wisely.

The film is remarkably oblivious to the fact that if the team weren't hell-bent on a championship, young moviegoers would be significantly less interested in its adventures.
