Watching this movie, I began to go through my own experience in soccer. I remember playing on the basketball court with my friends. I also remembered in Primary 5, I was in the soccer team, and Vishnu, our striker, my friend and I (left midfielder) did a triangular pass and then Vishnu drove the ball into the goal. I felt great. However, I did not really continue to pursue soccer because of one sided talent only.
I believe that if there is such thing as true passion, anything is possible. With your heart devoted into that thing, you can most possibly succeed.
Brian Bowen (Dermot Mulroney) was a soccer player himself, he does not put effort in thinking that anyone else can play like he did, except for Mike (Hunter Schroeder). Not only did her father did not believe in his only daughter, he laughed along with the two other younger boys in the family Daniel Bowen (Trevor Heins) and (), he believed that soccer was never needing real teaching because of Mike's talent in soccer. Grace Bowen (Carly Schroeder) had to put up with all the boys, the coaches, the rules and the closest person, her father.
I believe that girls are actually very fit to play any sport. They do not ever feel satisfied with their physical being, therefore they will train harder and harder if they really want to achieve their goal. The determination to push is far greater than the relaxed mind of boys who were born to play a rough sport, who were already capable of playing these kinds of pushing limits in strength, speed and agility.
Carly Schroeder played an amazing role as 'Gracie', she loved her brother and they were truly heart-to-heart. Her brother also believed that she could do what he could do. Every time a girl will be laughed by her peers and boys for taking on "socially suicidal" activities. I also loved how Carly played Gracie's different roles bravely. She walked across the tunnel without bothering of the oncoming vehicles, she drove illegally, tested her physical limits, both flirting-naughty and fitness. Peter Wicker (Josh Barclay Caras) believed in her throughout the film, there was no doubt in his mind that Grace was incapable of beating the boys to the game.
Lindsay Bowen (Elizabeth Shue) played a tremendous role as Grace's mother. She was the school nurse at the school. Moreover, she was also the nurse in the family. As a mother, she watched over her daughter and never discouraged her of what she would like to pursue in her life. She taught her daughter to always aim high. I believe that she played this amazing role beautifully because she was back at her own grounds when she was younger. She knew how a girl like 'Gracie' would feel, so she did not stop 'Gracie' from doing the abnormality. Elizabeth Shue and Andrew Shue directed this film very well.
Kyle Rhodes (Christopher Shand) did not believe that girls can even kick a ball. He has 'expectations' of the girls he dates, but until he realizes Gracie is very different, he will never reach deep enough to understand her.
I went to watch it the first show in the morning today and loved it. I recommend this movie to those who believes in true passion is the key to success, no matter how the road bends, there is always a way to walk around it.
