This is a best friends dramedy disguised as a sports movie. Kurt Russell and Robin Williams are obviously great, and carry the film despite its lackluster setup. There are some fun moments but for the most part it’s a by-the-numbers buddy drama with a healthy heaping helping of comedy all throughout.
Closest comparison: It’s like Tommy Boy by way of Friday Night Lights.
Setting: Small Town Drama
Plot: Sports
Tone: Dramedy
