TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

DaisyPraver How this movie is reviewed so lowly and how it hasn't been remade yet starring Jennifer Hudson. Get on it.

utgard14 So-called sports comedy that's very light on laughs. It's really more of a light drama about a woman who wants to be a football coach but isn't taken seriously by all those male chauvinists out there. So she gets her shot to coach but it's at an inner city school where the kids are mean to her. Not realistically mean, of course. She isn't verbally and physically assaulted as would happen in reality. No they're mean to her by not taking her seriously or calling her 'coach.' The horrors this poor woman has to endure. Also in a tired subplot the ex-husband is trying to take her kids away. Anyway it's likable fluff I guess, notable mainly for being the film debuts of Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes. Goldie is rootable as ever. My main problem with it is that it's not funny in the least. There's not even much of an attempt to be funny, just a few scenes where Goldie Hawn falls down. Lame.

moonspinner55 Goldie Hawn is her usual fizzy, feisty self playing a football-crazy coach trying to whip a high school team into shape. The young men are made up of delinquents and goof-offs, but can Goldie work her magic on them before the big game? "The Bad News Bears"'s Michael Ritchie directed, and it's the kind of comedy knock-off you'd expect from any Hollywood hack but Ritchie (hopefully he was well paid). Supporting cast is unusually good, with Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes in early roles, Swoosie Kurtz doing her likable sisterly bit, Nipsey Russell nicely low-keyed as a school official, Jan Hooks wonderful as the new woman in Hawn's ex-husband's life, and handsome Bruce McGill as the enemy coach (although he gets the worst scenes, particularly at end when he's forced to shout "Search his jock!" and then roll around in the mud). Hawn herself has an embarrassing moment nude in the bathtub, and the sub-plot with her boring ex is just time wasted on the clock, but her forthright comic performance just about saves "Wildcats" from the cookie-cutter bargain-bin. ** from ****

hcalderon1 One of my 80's sport's comedy ever. Goldie Hawn is at her best as Molly McGrath, a woman who feels that she can coach a winning football team. But feels she is taken seriously because she is a woman. Molly has other problems, she is divorced with two daughters, and has a nagging ex husband. And her job has a track coach is wearing thin. But with luck she finally gets the chance to coach a football team. When she finally gets there, she soon realizes that many other people would not dare coach there, and the team is a bunch of goof balls who don't seem to respect her and care about winning any more. Can Molly earn their respect, and show them they can be winners? I've always been a football fan, but this movie was great with Goldie Hawn starring in it.
