5.0 out of 5 stars Just an all around fun movie to watch, April 23 2004

By

"marshmelly" (Grand Junction, CO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Big Green, the (DVD)

I own 'The Big Green' on VHS and it's a great movie. It's about this really small town with nothing to do (they don't even have a pizza hut!) called Emma, Texas where the 'big kids' are used to taking the 'laid-back' approach on school. All of them at the begining have bad attitudes toward their new teacher Ms. Mountgumry (i know thats spelled wrong) a young teacher from England that tries to inspire and modivate the kids but at the begining doesn't have very much luck.

While trying to teach Geography Ms. M decides to try to get the kids attention by breaking the globe on her desk and begin to do a soccer 'trick' the kids are very impressed and this begins the story line for the rest of the movie. She decides to form a soccer team with Sheiff Tom helping her couch (but at first the only reason he's there is because he's smitten with Ms. M) although the kids hate the idea.

Ridicously they have their first game against an all-wining but snotty team 'the knights' with an a hole for a couch (couch Jay) who takes an interest in Ms. M. and grew up with Sheiff Tom and constantly puts him down.

Of course, they get slaughtered and humiliated. After this the kids are ready to forget the whole thing.

But Sheiff Tom and Ms. M pushes them to keep trying, they get their team name 'The Big Green' and keep trying even though they still suck.

Their luck changes when the new kid in town and in class Duan moves with his mother and although he's very quiet and they tease him in class at first they come to find out he's an extrodinary talent in Soccer. After begging his mother to let him on the team, he's on the team and they start getting better more encouraged and start winning games.

Everythings good until a family situation threatens to drive Duan out of town with his mom right before the final game against the team that slaughtered them before, The Knights.

(Ms. M and Knights Couch Jay makes a bet that if the knights win Ms. M will kiss him, but if The Big Green wins he has to kiss their mascot ernie *a painted green goat*)

it's a funny and sometimes touching ride that I recommend watch when your relaxing at home and need something to watch. It's for all ages something you can watch with your family or even by yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic in My Eyes, Jun 11 2003

By

Funkee Monkee "Kristyn" (Hampton, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Big Green, the (VHS Tape)

Yes, it seems like you're typical storyline, but it's told with so much more enthusiasm and the actors are much more realistic than the other 'oh they can't play but by the end they're champs'. It also is set in a small-town, however most that I've seen are in big cities. This is just a classic-the acting is superb, and the kids' are just to adorable, especially the little boy. One thing that is typical; the overweight kid
plays the barely-as-to-move position.

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Big Green, the (VHS Tape)

The Big Green is the story of some bored kids in a dying town named Elma. And a sheriff who hates the kids, calls them midgets. And they call him Deupty Dawg. One day some kids decided to go out in the field at thier school to feed the birds. But then thier new teacher (even though they don't know it yet) sees them and thinks they are in trouble, and chases the birds away with the hose casuing the kids to get wet. Her name is Anna Montgomery (Oliva d'Abo) and she will be teaching the big kids for the first half of the school year.

3.0 out of 5 stars a so-so movie
It was funny and a overall good movie, but it was really not that good. It was just a avrege movie. But its a good overall rainy day movie. Or a lazy day movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great show
My boys (5 and 3) loved this show. That's why we're ordering one. It's a good show for the whole family. We like the part where the goalie fights the bad guys. Read more
