Kicking & Screaming

Welcome to BLOGGER post #400!

Here we have one mighty strange little film. A story about a dueling father and son who end up coaching opposing soccer teams. This is the set up for this Will Ferrell and while the results are mixed there are moments in KICKING & SCREAMING that will make you scratch your head. See, this flick takes itself a little too serious in the pontification department to be authentically funny but when it let's go you are quite liable to bust a gut. Try as a may I cannot dislike Ferrell because he is so damn genuine are riotously funny. Robert Duvall does duty as the father here and though he plays it straight for the most part he gets in a few licks here and there. Also on board is the great hall of famer Mike Ditka who is the real star here and if nothing else amuses you here he most certainly will. Also, keep your eyes out in the future for Steven Anthony Lawrence...already a veteran he does some mighty fine work here and no doubt we'll see much more of him in the future.....and yes...that is Musetts Vander palying Duvall's young wife!
