      Priyo W Very entertaining and very motivating movie the 0% rating is by the salty movie critics that always hates this type of movie genre Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review Jeffrey M The Big Green was a bad movie. I watched it just know and it was really bad. The Big Green was highly unrealistic. If that teacher did that in real life, something bad would happen to her. I practically agree with the audience for this movie. It was way too cheesy too. The actor, Bug Hall, the only movies I've watched and he has been in are really bad. The three movies he has been in that I watched are this movie, Little Rascals, and Honey We Shrunk Ourselves. Also The Big Green is not funny at all. It's supposed to be a comedy, but it is not really funny at all. What a bad movie. I give this a 47%. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/23 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 39 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated PG for Comic Violence, and Some Mild Language. Starring Steve Guttenberg as a sheriff in Austin, Texas, and Bug Hall as the soccer player who wins in shootouts in the final round of the Texas State elementary school soccer tournament. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/23 Full Review steve d Deeply unfunny, even by the standards of kid's sports comedies. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Jsaadp985 Is a great movie if you like soccer but it has some mid jokes Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/22 Full Review jacob b A generic, clichéd sports film that's not as memorable as The Mighty Ducks trilogy or even Angels in the Outfield for that matter but is far too harmless to be considered remarkably awful. It's just another Disney sports comedy from back when Cool Runnings and The Mighty Ducks were hits from an age before they matured with more dramatic true-story films with Remember the Titans in 2000. The football (or "soccer" for you simple-minded Americans) sequences are okay, the actors do their job just fine and it was a nice touch that the goalkeeper imagines the opposing team as ninjas, Vikings, etc. It was the one original idea this movie had. The Big Green is just a movie that exists. She's the Man was a better football-themed comedy. The fact that this came out first is irrelevant.

      Joey O'Bryan Austin Chronicle Rated: 0/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times In the right role, Olivia d'Abo would be irreplaceable. She has never found that role. Here, struggling gamely with the hopelessly predictable Big Green, she shows a quality that in another role, in another picture, could be luminous. Rated: 1.5/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Todd James Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Disney should be embarrassed, but since they own nearly every entertainment outlet known to man, who is to tell them? Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Sep 14, 2005 Full Review Jeanne Aufmuth Palo Alto Weekly Rated: 1/4 May 14, 2003 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com Exactly what you'd expect from a kid's soccer flick: lots of balls being kicked.
