Immaturity and poor sportsmanship once again find their firmly established place in children's athletics (at least among the adults) in this sports comedy. Phil Weston (Will Ferrell) is a tightly woun... read more

April 16, 2011Im sorry if you didnt like this, but I just enjoyed it. Will Ferell is my favorite comedian, and man this movie would suck without him. The story and everything else is pretty weak, but Ferell makes it work. With a few cliche and dumb moments, this movie was just okay, but Fer... read more

July 15, 2010Another Will Ferrell vehicle. Kicking & Screaming is more of the same garbage that Ferrell serves up. A few snipits of the film are comical, but don't hold up because the humour gets stale and overuused too quickly. The film rellies too much on Ferrell's one trick antics to creat... read more

July 28, 2007This movie is hardly enjoyable, I think that it wasn't the best decition from Will Ferrell to make this film. the plot seems kinda weak and with some holes in the story. I feel it a little childish at some moments. The cast was decent, the kids were very funny specially the littl... read more

February 15, 2007A completely and utterly unfunny comedy movie. I walked out after about an hour. Will Ferrell totally fails here.

January 8, 2007Not one of Will Ferrells best movies but he us always a joy to watch and Im sure it could keep the younger of us amused. I enjoyed it, but that is more about Ferrells performance than the film itself.

A zero, but the title describes how the audience is likely to react, perfectly. Full Review

Ferrell is one of the film's few bright lights. It's a shame to hide that subversive beacon under a bushel of dully inspirational sports movie cliches. Full Review

As lazy, bloated and TV-screen- friendly as shameless promos come. Full Review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Sit in a room by yourself, look at a blank screen for 90 minutes, and you'll have more of a chance of laughing at your own thoughts than you will at this movie. Full Review

Silly, mindless and derivative, but Duvall brings some bite to the proceedings and Ferrell is dependably amusing. Full Review

Kyle Smith, New York Post
Both Duvall and Mike Ditka, who plays himself and helps coach Phil's team, spend too much of the movie on the bench, and while they're there, the jokes run thin.

Even a soccer-savvy audience has better things to do -- like instilling unsportsmanlike behavior in their kids or sabotaging rival teams. Full Review
