Review of Wildcats (1986) by Jeff S — 25 Mar 2009

[i]Wildcats[/i] may not score many points for originality, but this comedy is still tremendously entertaining. Plenty of memorably funny moments, some great one-liners and excellent performances by the entire cast, with Goldie Hawn doing a stand-out job and Nipsey Russell making the most of his relatively small role as the beleaguered high school principal who desperately wants gridiron glory for his school's team.

Veteran director Michael Ritchie definitely knows how to perk up a formula story and make it seem lively and new again, even if we do see the feel-good finale coming a mile away.
