Quick Peek
When Curtis Plummer, a down on his luck former high school football star, takes the only job he can find--babysitting his misfit niece Jasmine--he discovers that she has the skills that once made him a great quarterback. The only place these two opposites get along is on the field, so Curtis is determined to turn Jasmine into the star of the local team, The Minden Browns, and get his own stride back by becoming the coach. The boys on the team don't want her but when this girl quarterback shows them she's got the skills, she'll turn their whole world upside down.

This movie is OK. Based on the true story of the first female pop warner football player, it is a "heart-warming" type of film that focuses on overcoming emotional pain through strength and opening up to others. Ice Cube and Keke Palmer have a strong connection with each other in real life which makes the acting between them that much better. Nothing novel or unique about the plot development and nothing intrinsic that will "grab" an audience, but the authenticity is such to make the sensitive cry and it's acceptable and accessible for kids.
