Kicking & Screaming

• Family
• Comedy

A hilariously awkward exploration of generational conflict unfolds as a relentlessly unathletic father impulsively attempts to redeem his own childhood failures through coaching his son’s disastrous youth soccer team. Driven by a burning need to prove himself to his overbearing father, he plunges into the intensely competitive world of amateur football, resulting in a chaotic and unexpectedly heartfelt clash of egos and wildly mismatched skill levels. Beyond the slapstick comedy, the film subtly examines the anxieties of fatherhood and the surprising places where connection can be found, offering a refreshingly unpretentious look at parental expectations and the joy of simply showing up, even – and perhaps especially – when utterly unprepared.
