Starts off in wayward fashion, but it actually turns into a solid - if predictable - kids sports film. It's about time Disney did a production about football/soccer for the big screen, suppose the way the sport blew up in the US after the 1995 World Cup was the catalyst. That's not to say it's a serious football film, it certainly isn't and the ball game isn't even the main takeaway from events - it's more about people caring and coming together. It's rather nice. There's nothing really noteworthy about the cast to be honest, Olivia d'Abo (Anna) and Steve Guttenberg (Tom) are, I guess, the standouts. Kate's (Jessica Robertson) story has heart, as does Juan's (Anthony Esquivel), but they as actors don't get much to work with. Pretty plain I'll admit, but I found <em>'The Big Green'</em> an enjoyable enough watch.
