Teenage girls often struggle with self-confidence and the members of the losing Galaxy girl's soccer team are finding their own sense of inadequacy difficult to overcome. When their lackluster coach gets transferred to Italy, the team's hopes soar at the promise of soccer legend Lorenzo Vincenzo (What I Like About You's Dan Cortese) filling in as temporary coach. The team's excitement threatens to turn to bitter disappointment when the soccer great refuses to coach the team upon landing in California. Soccer mom Wendy (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's Missi Pyle), concerned that her daughter Becca (Hannah Montana's Emily Osment)is at a crossroads in dealing with the death of her father, decides to take things into her own hands in order to avoid disappointing her daughter and the rest of the team.With the help of a couple of friends, Wendy disguises herself as Lorenzo Vincenzo and, before she knows it, she's coaching her daughter's soccer team incognito. Wendy's double life becomes increasingly complicated and comedy reigns as she tries to keep her dual identity a secret while inspiring the team to greatness. In the end, everyone involved learns an important lesson about the power of self-confidence and the special bond between mothers and daughters. (Ages 5 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Rating: - READ THIS REVIEW - NO SPOILER HERE!
My 11 year old (soccer playing) daugter picked this out at the video store completely at random.Knowing nothing about the film, I really enjoyed the story-line and unlike many of the other reviewers, I am not going to disclose what it is.While the plot is far from original, my daughter and I had a very good time watching it together.If you are a soccer mom (or dad) this one is a no-brainer.It is filled with light-hearted humor, and the main plot twist is quite entertaining.Missi Pyle does ...

Rating: - Movie Fun for the Entire Family
I bought this movie based on a recommendation from a friend. My wife and I thought it was well done and funny. My young daughters especially enjoyed watching Emily Osment and the soccer scenes. The story is not the most original, but it has a warm message driving it. Missi Pyle does a great job as Wendy and as Lorenzo. We really felt she cared about her daughter's happiness. It was fun to watch, and we laughed a lot.

- Similiar to She's the Man and especially Mrs. Doubtfire...
I rented this movie from RedBox and I couldn't stop lauging as the mom tries to play a popular italian soccer star just to convince the girls soccer team that he is actually coming to coach.

- Not a family movie
I completely agree with the review called "Too many sexual references". In fact, I was getting on here to write a review just like it. I second everything "Joyful" said!
Rating: - Too many sexual references
I'm not sure why this movie was rated so highly from the others.It had way too many sexual references to be even shown to teenagers.It's as though it's so common and acceptable that when two men or two women or two of anyone kiss and grope, we just laugh.Why do most films these days have to have a gay theme, also?The language was also shotty.It would have been a great movie with a great theme of the mother wanting to see her daughter happy.That's about all I saw good about it.Don't buy ...
