| | A
story concerns the town's chief source of
identity and pride: so-called "Saturday
games," in which local men divide into
teams and play pond hockey for the locals.
When a prodigal son (Hank Azaria) of Mystery
shows up with a television network offer to
bring the New York Rangers in for a televised
match against the homegrown team, the town
fathers agree. Coaching falls to the town
sheriff, John Biebe (Russell Crowe), an
admirable man and a longtime player recently
bumped from the team. John, however, doesn't
want the job: everyone knows the real coach
in those parts is Judge Burns (Burt
Reynolds), but he wants no part of it either.
All of that changes after a sad tragedy
forces everyone to reevaluate their positions
and pull together in order to beat the
Rangers. Buy this movie ! |
