Fresh from England on a foreign exchange program, teacher Miss Anna (Olivia d'Abo) arrives in a small Texas town where the local students don't have much to be happy about. Determined to boost their spirits, Anna forms a soccer team, hoping the sport will help them out of their funk. But, since they've never played before, she has her work cut out for her. She hopes that, with her assistant coach, Sheriff Tom (Steve Guttenberg), she might have a chance to turn their lives around.

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.

Disney should be embarrassed, but since they own nearly every entertainment outlet known to man, who is to tell them?

Exactly what you'd expect from a kid's soccer flick: lots of balls being kicked.

Itï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)s not the Mighty Ducks or the Sandlot, but itï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)s cute in a cheesy way. If you grew up in the 90s I think itï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)s a must see.

Formulaic perhaps, but it's a formula that works well. The Big Green is a fun Disney sports movie with spirit. (First viewing - Childhood)
