Kids are going to get the most laughs out of this, but Will Ferrell's crazier moments will crack up the adults too. The only real problem with it is it's familiarity. The morals it tries to teach have been taught in a thousand other movies, and you pretty much know how the overall plot is going to turn out. Still, if you're looking for some laugh's Ferrell delivers. In the end that's all that matters in a comedy, so it's worth a watch.… Expand

I think it's a pretty good film, and it looked like Will Ferrell would make a perfect lead in a family friendly comedy that would appeal to a family audience. Ferrell's craziness also will appeal well. The first time I saw this movie I had a big smile on my face when Ferrell was on screen with his big antics. I'd recommend it.… Expand

Not as bad as I expected,certainly better than most of the films out there today that appeal to the kid-sports-movie crowd. Ditka added to the enjoyment.

the reason i give this movie a 10 was because it is full of laughs and it is entertaining to watch with a lot of great actors, i dont see how anyone could possibly HATE this movie because there are no boring parts from my point of view.

Francesco Liotti and Alessandro Ruggiero are the cutest and hottest guys I have ever seen, I kept goin over their special feture on the DVD, "From Rome to Hollywood" over and over again just to see their faces up close.

A light, sometimes funny movie that is watchable but forgettable. The supporting cast don't take much of the comedic burden so Ferrell becomes the sole reason you would watch this film.

You know what really makes this entertaining? Will Ferrell's performance! He made this movie so funny and if any average actor took over this project, it just wouldn't be that fun.

Like any other Will Ferrel movie it's a typical Will Ferrel screw-ball comedy. The movie is stupid at times, but it still keeps you laughing, like the "Juice Box" scene. But it's not as good as Ferrel's other movies like Anchorman and Talledega Nights. As far as the story goes, it's still just a broad, typical sports story, but done "Will Ferrel" style. Overall, it's a stupid soccer movie, but with some fun, hilarious moments.… Expand

Kicking and Screaming reaches success in all ages.
This is probably one of the few movies that can be laughed at by both adults and kids. Will Ferrel pushes the envelope just far enough to stay appropriate but make his presence known.

This movie is unbelievably hilarious. I love the clashing between Duvall and Ditka and then Ferrel being smashed between. Mike Ditka is a perfect choice for the Juice Box guy.
