[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 127130, member: 35"] [B] Inspirational film fun for girls, boys, dads and Soccer Moms [/B] [url=http://www.montrealgazette.com/entertainment/movie-guide/Inspirational+film+girls+boys+dads+Soccer+Moms/3054617/story.html]Inspirational film fun for girls, boys, dads and Soccer Moms[/url] The weather is warming, which means children all over the island are digging their dusty soccer cleats out from under the bed. It's a seasonal ritual that continues to grow in popularity every year for both boys and girls in North America. Parents bring snacks and lawn chairs and children head out into the field to dribble their best dribble.

We've all heard of it, and it is well worth renting. One that may not be that familiar is Gracie (2007). It tells a fascinating story about the reality of American girl athletes prior to Title IX, an amendment made to the U.S. Education Act in 1972 that prohibited exclusion, based on gender, from any educational program or activity. The amendment had a significant impact on academic athletics. Gracie plays out on the fields of Columbia High School in Maplewood, N.J., in 1978 before the amendment had really had an impact. (Boomer parents will love the soundtrack. It brings back memories of being young and beautiful and fearless.) Gracie (Carly Schroeder) is grieving the death of her soccer-star brother in a car accident. To help herself heal, she decides she will become the first female soccer player on her school's very macho team and she asks her former-soccer-player dad (Dermot Mulroney) to train her.

Mom (the statuesque Missi Pyle) is desperate to re-connect with her daughter, so she disguises herself as a famous Italian male soccer star who, for inexplicable reasons, has agreed to coach a girl's soccer team in small-town America. Just go with it, people. Of course, the real soccer star shows up for the big match and much physical humour ensues. A harmless and enjoyable experience for girls who love the game and the parents who are happy they do. [email]kgreenaway@thegazette.canwest.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
