The 411 by Maria:
This is a cute, feel good movie that isn't cheesy. My kids loved it as much as I did. Reagen has a lot of things going for her. She is obviously a good soccer player who has the skills and the desire to make it big but when she doesn't make the team coupled with her brother getting a football scholarship and what she believes to be all of her parents attention she decides to take down all her Alex Morgan stuff. When a poster won't come off the wall she climbs on a chair and falls off hitting her head. It is Alex who is talking to her when she comes to.
She is the only one who can see Alex and is excited when Alex tells her she will help her train. Thanks to her new "friend" she gets joins a team called The Breakaways and with her skills and Alex talking in her ear takes them to a whole new level with the help of her dad and her idol.

I loved how Dad comes forward to help The Breakaways form a solid team even though he was thrust into the role of coach. I also loved how Reagen's brother uses his good fortunate to thank his sister for helping him. Perception is everything and family communication is important. This was very realistic especially in the fact that mom and dad seem oblivious to Reagen's issues because she wasn't really communicating how much she needed more. Families don't always talk open enough so that everyone is getting what they need.
Some of my favorite scenes were when Reagen was talking or hanging with Alex but no one else saw her. Fun and perfectly kept to a minimum so as not to let Reagen play the fool.

I am not sure how to attach the image of my soccer emoji but I would like to be entered. This looks like a great sports movie for little kids. Bernie Wallace BWallace1980(at)hotmail(d0t)com
ReplyDeleteI made the emoji using "One Team One Dream" as the phrase, but have no idea how to share it here. Was not able to drag like it says.
