The Big Green
After the success of ice hockey movie The Mighty Ducks (which, with the help of likeable Emilio Estevez, spawned two sequels), it probably seemed a good idea to use the same ingredients (little team does good and the players learn more about themselves and each other in the process) for other sports. However, here the plot is rehashed for a movie about soccer, and Estevez is replaced by a man whose career is even further in the dumpster, Police Academy's Steve Guttenberg. It's uninteresting, unengaging and not a patch on the Ducks — and what do Americans know about soccer anyway?
