Kicking and Screaming

Kicking and Screaming was directed by Jesse Dylan and it stars Will Ferrell (Phil Weston), Robert Duvall (Buck Weston), Mike Ditka as himself, Kate Walsh (Barbara Weston) and others. The movie is mostly about a rivalry between Phil Weston and Phil's competitive father Buck. Buck does not let Phil win when it comes to sports and Phil finds the opportunity to possibly win when a coaching position opens up on the local kid soccer team, which could use some help and is part of a league which Buck coaches on. Some parts of this movie I thought were only slightly funny and other parts were hilarious. The character of Phil Weston is funny a guy who can be kind of egocentric and competitive about coaching but yet does not really seem to know the best ways to coach the team. Mike Ditka plays another funny role because he is an expert coach and tries to help Phil and the soccer team improve their skills. Buck Weston is probably the least funny character because he is all about serious competition. I think that this movie is worth watching because it is many moments of comedy and the story is entertaining because of the personality of the characters in it.
