Review of The Winning Season (2009) by Eric L — 01 Oct 2013

This was a rip off version of the Bad News Bears. The plot was very similar from the drunk coach who doesn't seem to like his team, to the remarkable comeback. As much as I would like to believe it, this story just can't happen and is not made believable.

I don't understand how a drunk can turn a team of five or six girls into a championship caliber team in just one season. This relationship with the players and the coach seems to magically come together and there is very little back story on Bill and his marriage which occasionally made parts of the movie confusing.

A decent performance by all, but certainly does not surpass any expectations.
