In
KICKING
&
SCREAMING,
funny
man
Will
Ferrell's
(OLD
SCHOOL,
ANCHORMAN:
THE
LEGEND
OF
RON
BURGUNDY)
humorous
man-child
antics
meet
actual
kids
on
the
soccer
pitch.
He
plays
vitamin
salesman
Phil
Weston,
a
sensitive
man
easily
capable
of
both
crying
and
sewing.
Unfortunately
for
Phil,
these
qualities
have
never
quite
endeared
him
to
his
tough-as-nails
father,
Buck
(Robert
Duvall)
who
will
stop
at
nothing
to
one-up
Phil.
He
goes
so
far
as
benching
Phil's
10-year-old
son--his
own
grandson--on
the
youth
soccer
team
he
coaches.
Upon
Phil's
begging
to
get
his
son
more
playing
time,
Buck
trades
his
grandson
to
the
last-place
team,
the
Tigers.
Not
just
any
normal
cellar-dwelling
outfit,
the
Tigers
feature
a
cast
of
lovable
losers
who
prefer
eating
worms
and
telling
jokes
to
playing
soccer.
When
the
Tigers'
coach
leaves,
putting
the
season
on
the
line,
an
inexperienced
Phil
steps
in
to
helm
his
son's
new
team.
With
help
from
Buck's
neighbor
and
rival,
real-life
football
coach
Mike
Ditka--hilariously
playing
himself--the
Tigers
turn
their
season
around.
Fueled
by a
raging
caffeine
habit,
Phil
starts
to
overly
obsess
with
beating
Buck,
losing
sight
of
why
he
took
the
job
in
the
first
place--to
be a
better
dad
to
his
own
son.
Director
Jesse
Dylan
(AMERICAN
WEDDING)
is a
natural
for
the
storyline,
being
famed
musician
Bob
Dylan's
son.
Farrell,
for
once,
is
content
to
play
straight
arrow
to
the
crazy
tykes
in
the
first
half
of
the
film,
before
he
unleashes
his
trademark
zaniness
in
the
latter
half.
Those
attributes
alone,
along
with
fun-loving
family
themes,
make
KICKING
&
SCREAMING
a
treat
for
fans
both
young
and
old.
