      I want to use football to make a horrible drama

      The nonsensical plot, terrible dialogue, and inexplicable ending, the only thing worthy of appreciation is that even such a bad film actor's acting skills can still be seen. This is more admiration for the professional level of American actors. The director wants to use football themes to trick football fans into watching such bad movies, but a film with such a low level will only worsen the reputation of the football theme in the film themes. In the future, audiences and film companies will...

      Coke, popcorn

      A very American comedy, reminiscent of Coke and popcorn. In the movie theater, the child spilled a drink, and the mother hurriedly cleaned it up; there, the couple chatted with each other and watched the screen occasionally, so there was no need to be afraid of missing a certain episode. Link the movie together.
          The movie tells the story of a son who wants his father's approval. Will Ferrell participates in various sports on campus. He basically doesn't need any performances. Just...

    Movie plot

    Phil Weston ( Will Ferrell ) is an ordinary person with an ordinary family. He has long lost his lofty ideals and only hopes to live a plain life with his wife and children. Words like prominence and grand ambition are out of reach for him, but family dinners on weekends are more attractive.

    Behind the scenes gags

    Cast selection

    For the film, one of the most difficult tasks is to find all the players from the twelve teams participating in the film. Football coach Metcalf conducted a wide search among American boys aged 10-12 and was able to be selected. One of the prerequisites is that you must have played on behalf of your school. As for the two small Italian foreign aids, Metcalfe went to Rome and found suitable candidates. In addition, Metcalfe also...

Wang, who is around the age of year, portrays very vividly. Mike Dikta performed well in the film, and Will Ferrell, who is always funny, can not only set off others, but also make the whole...
