The least we can say is that Kicking & Screaming is not Will Ferrell's best movie. But I could say luckily Will Ferrell is in this movie, just to attempt to save this comedy. I'm a fan of the dorkish Will Ferrell and that's the only reason I watched this movie. His facial expressions and nerdiness makes him a good comedian. I like Robert Duvall as well and was surprised that he played in this movie. The story is pretty lame but I didn't expect much from that side, but this was probably one of the worst 'soccer' (or football like we call it here) movies I ever saw. And that just because how they filmed the soccer scenes, completely ridiculous moves, things you will never see in any game, not even from the worst players ever. So luckily we had Will Ferrell, to make us laugh a couple of times, because the rest is seriously not worth mentioning.
... View MoreKicking and Screaming marked the first sports movie that Will Ferrell starred in. While it is not as funny of a movie as Talladega Nights or Blades of Glory, it works. Will Ferrell stars as Phil Weston, a loving dad who wishes that his son would get more playing time in recreation league soccer. Ironically, the team his son is on is coached by Phil's dad (played very comedically by Robert Duvall). When the coach says no, this causes Phil to become a soccer coach himself. Ferrell makes this character one of his own. This movie is a Will Ferrell movie, but it is targeted more toward younger audiences. Ferrell does put some of his usual attitudes and mannerisms, and in the case of Kicking and Screaming, it works.
... View Morei really liked this movie its so awesome, especially byang song he's so funny. Its not just about soccer like the other movies, it contains funny scenes and really somehow i like the way the dad and son compete with each other. The song ZUMA ZUMA BAKA LA is so awesome during the game when they started playing soccer successfully, i really advise everybody to watch the movie especially people who like to watch family movies for kids and the parents. Will Ferrell ... Phil Weston Robert Duvall ... Buck Weston Mike Ditka ... Mike Ditka Kate Walsh ... Barbara Weston They are really great actors and their roles suits their personalities
... View MoreThis is another Will Ferrell sports comedy and it is definitely the best of them all. Its better then Blades of Glory and Talladega Nights. I am yet to see Semi-Pro but it doesn't look too good.Ever since 2005 we have been getting a Will Ferrell sports comedy every year. Maybe its time to stop. Kicking & Screaming is a fun family comedy. It has heart and is a must-see for a family looking for a movie to watch together. We have had ice skating, race car driving and basketball. This one is about soccer.A family man called Phil Weston has been victim to his dad's obsession to win all his life. Now he has a chance to get revenge on his dad through coaching a soccer team and trying defeat his dad and get a special soccer ball that has always been rightfully his. With the help of an ex-football coach he learns how to coach a team. But his coaching gets out of control resulting in hilarious situations.The soccer kids where great. Every kid had a different personality and each play there part very nicely. I don't think Will Ferrell needs to give a good performance in this movie he was hilarious and thats all that mattered to me. For those who want to know he was good but not great.This is the ideal family movie. I recommend it for a good time. It has hilarious moments that both kids and adults will love and even relate to.8/10
