Movie Review by AJ
August 26th, 2006

Y'know, they just don't make 'em like this anymore. Thank God. Remember back in the early- to mid-90's when horrifically cheesy kid's sports movies like this were more than commonplace? With a few exceptions--like the awful Rebound--this genre has stayed buried for about the past decade, and Little Giants is a case study of why that's a good thing. While Rick Moranis is always likeable (though every time I see him I think, "Are you the Gatekeeper?"), the script here is dreadful and, unless you're about two years old--and even then, you might have standards--none of it is funny or engaging in any way. The only character here who has any depth is Ed O'Neill's meanie Kevin O'Shea, but the script treats him like a schizophrenic, bouncing from cruel to warm-hearted to arrogant to soft with not one believable transition. Basically, Little Giants is everything you'd expect it to be, and unless you're really nostalgic for this kinda thing, that means that it sucks, and majorly.

I agree; this is a mindless movie! What a waste of time.
