I have seen many Hollywood sickly sweet sentimental films, but this horrible confection really takes the basket! One thing which i hated beyond belief about this trash was the soundtrack, a sickly wailing orchestral noise which drowns out everything else, and is presumably intended to maximize the sentimental stabbing that comes with each turn of the story. It stuck in my head for days and even now thinking about it brings waves of nausea to me.
I like Coyote and Karen Allen a lot which only made it worse seeing them in this turnip! The film teaches us nothing new about anything and every single aspect of the story is predictable, we just know that the German boy is going to win over the stubborn audience in the climatic basketball match, and that romance is going to occur between the main characters.
It is the manipulative and twisted nature of the film's director, that hopes to win over audiences with his simple minded approach to the presentation, by emphasizing the most glutinous aspects of every little sickly scene.
I have rarely felt physically nauseated by any film, including many horror films, but somehow this film did the trick.
It's a right full-on pukefest and you'll feel like you've just had eight gallons of Aunt Jemima's strawberry cheesecake forced down your throat, followed by 5 liters of Macdonalds milkshake.
Excuse me, but i think i have to go and throw up again.
Avoid at all costs!
