Happy Madison released a new Netflix film with Kevin James, HOME TEAM. On paper the idea of approaching the true story of the Saints scandal with their stupid brand of humour sounds like a disaster but it was not as bad as I thought, I actually had fun with it. You do have Rob Schneider in a completely useless, unfunny and over-the-top character as usual, but they kept it down to earth compared to their other films, and the biggest surprise to me is that I actually laughed a few times, the kids had good chemistry together. There's one gross-out scene that was also pointless and was typical bad Adam Sandler humor. Honestly it's the kind of film that Dads will watch with their sons during this NFL playoffs season and most likely will have a good time bonding over football.

First being a Happy Madison production you pretty much know what to expect. Silly over substance. But here you have some sliver of real life in that it "kicks-off" from an actual event in which New Orleans Saints coach Payton was suspended for a year from his NFL job. Weaving a story of hardship into a connection with his son brings our coach back to coaching on an entirely different level. Since one doesn't expect a warts and all soul searching documentary this is made into pure entertainment. With modest expectations it succeeds and is fun to watch. It's slight in a good way so I'd say if you want a feel good family flick with a few laughs this qualifies.

If you enjoy Kevin James movies then you'll enjoy this. It's a good family sports movie, Rob Schneider is great in it. The kids are funny, it's worth the watch for a comedy or football fan.

This movie is fantastic. I wanted to hate it but it's awesome. I don't know how much more vulnerable you can be as a public person with a scandal in their background. It's awesome.

I have to say I enjoyed every minute of this movie I know there were some more serious issues overlooked but so what? For me it showed a beautiful positive that can come out of dark and slimy events - the restoration of a family relationships plus the fun and positive connection that should underlie all sports for children and young people. Clearly this film did not attempt to address the events that occurred before the film but that is fine - life goes on and we aim from there to shine light and make the most we can from thereon. I felt the ending needed a little work and thus the loss of one point. I really enjoyed seeing Taylor Lautner again and Isaiah Mustafa close to stole the show. Great swag - reminded me of a young Denzel Washington in this film. Overall, this is a bravo for Adam Sandler - just don't review this film expecting it to be more than light comedy with a bit of Sandler gross and crazy (you will get this comment when you watch the film). If you are looking for everything to be serious after challenging events watch some other movie because over the past two years comedy and MEMES have been a great uplift during unfortunate events.

Now that I have your attention. This film is based on a 'true' story. Sean Payton was head coach for the NOSaints but got suspended for a year, for his part in the bounty scandal. He went to Texas and wound up coaching his son's football team for the time he was suspended. The story was very poorly written and the comedy just wasn't there. I don't understand why the producers/writers and especially Netflix thought it was a good idea to make this film. It was obvious that they didn't spend a lot of money as production values showed it was made on the cheap. The acting was okay but again, the story itself was terrible. Basing this film on Sean Payton's time away from the NFL while he was suspended for participating in activities that would result in destroying lives and careers is shameful. I do not recommend this film.

And he is good, being sinister and goofy at the same time the jokes and comments is well set and qualified for the peewee league north central texas. Im not much into nhl, nbl or nfl, cause we dont do them sports like that here'n norway, norway, but they made the game pretty understandable this time so socc soccer this time. Do also have in mind that this is a all family sports movie where barfing and buttocks are right on the edge of profanity, but it was good fun anyway. Well chosen young actors, ball they can play i suppose, no stupid acts, just pranking along without jubbalong and thats neat, jolly good fun. So if youre afraid of the oval ball and heavy dee-fence then have a look, it doesnt bite, you might as well get a lol too. The grumpy old man gives a small recommend, it has a nice progression where you might not expect progression at all.

I thought this was a nice little movie. It was more of a light drama with some humour than a straight out comedy, and I enjoyed both aspects of it. I really like Kevin James and as usual he was great in this. It's always nice to see Taylor Lautner as well. The child actors were all quite good too. Actually, the entire cast did a great job. The plot was simple but still fun. The ending was absolutely fantastic and I feel like the build up to that moment was perfect. Inevitably, this movie won't be loved by all, but it's a fun enough time with a positive message, and its PG rating means it is definitely something the whole family can enjoy.
