3.0 out of 5 stars
Not the most exciting film, but good for families, March 7, 2010
This review is from: Her Best Move : Widescreen Edition (DVD)
I imagine most people watching
Her Best Move will do so because they want a good family movie for kids who like soccer. I think
Her Best Move largely succeeds on that front. It has the usual ups and downs, family turmoils, the boyfriend miscommunication, etc. - all resolved happily of course. However, there's something about it that just seems small-bore and predictable. For example, a girl spreads a rumor that the star of the movie, Sara, said her boyfriend kisses like a "dead squid." And he believed her. Really? Maybe it's been a while since I was in high school, but that just seems juvenile and unbelievable (the rumors in our high school were much worse, and students tended to be a bit more cynical). This might make the movie a bit boring for parents watching with their kids. It certainly isn't as entertaining as
Bend It Like Beckham (Widescreen Edition), another girls' soccer movie. I'd maybe recommend
Her Best Move for younger (grade school) girls, and then
Bend It Like Beckham (Widescreen Edition) for somewhat wider audiences.
