efilmcritic.com - : Goldie Hawn stars and executive produces this film about her character Molly McGrath who has dreamed of being a football coach her whole life. Molly finally gets her chance, but there is a catch - the job is at Central High in the heart of urban Chicago.

Robyn Lively was even nominated for a Young Artist Award for her work in this film. more...
