Am I Missing Something?

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

I have not seen the movie yet I just ordered it because the summery caught my eye because it is about my life,but I think it will be great!!! I am a female goalie I have been playing ice hockey for 11 years but goalie for 3 of them and I moved to a girls team because the co ed team did not let me try being goalie because I was a girl! It was there loss though. Playing goalie came natural to me and I was on the select team for new england my second year playing goalie!My dad was a goalie that is why I wanted to be a goalie, but I love that you made a movie about this topic because it really does happen in hockey and I am so excited to see the movie I bet it will be great!!!

This is just one of those movies that meant something to me from my childhood. I used to see this movie after school on HBO and always wanted to be Kathy Yarrow. She was this girl who is displaced because of her parents divorce and in a new smaller town where they don't have a girl's hockey team. She battles to get on the boy's team and wins not only making friends and overcoming obstacles that she didn't think was possible but meeting a boy who believed in her too. I will never forget Spear. He was a major crush for me back in the 80's. When I met my husband, we both mentioned this movie and loved it! We ended up finding it in an old video store. It was just something special we had together. I highly recommend this movie and hope that you make new memories and give your kids the opportunity to create their own memories from this great family friendly movie.

Presaging the explosion of women's hockey and the questions arising with women playing on men's teams, this film managed to balance those issues with teen relationship angst.It's interesting to see the contrast in Follows' performance with the Anne Of Green Gables movies -- my friends and I rented Hockey Night solely to see more Follows, and because we were hockey fans -- and it's plain to see why she was cast here. She puts in quite a credible performance.About the only jarring element, though, was Cathy yelling at her boyfriend for jumping the goon that blindsided her. She's supposed to be a veteran goalie, and the ironclad rule of the era was that hockey players could never, at any level, for the fraction of an instant tolerate anything of the sort aimed at their goalies. What was notable wasn't that her boyfriend attacked the goon; the notable part was that the rest of the team didn't as well.6/10.

I loved this movie as a kid. I fell in love with the characters. At this time in history it was very hard for girls to get into sports without female teams. I really wanted to see the puppy love of Spear and Cathy grow. I am a big fan of happily ever after.
