Unlike all the other movies I've gone over thusfar, I haven't seen Little Giants in a long ass time. Something that probably won't be remedied anytime soon either. Anyways, this week the review is kind of mailed in....I'm tired and busy.
Anyways, Rick Moranis (Honey, I Shrunk the Kids) plays Danny O'Shea, the brother of a former Heisman trophy winner, Ed O'Neil (Married With Children). When Danny's daughter, among other kids, are cut from Pee Wee football by his brother, he decides to form his own team. Following the formula of, say, The Mighty Ducks, Danny's team is filled with girls, nerds, fat kids...you get the picture.
All kinds of wacky things ensue throughout the movie as is expected. The fat kid loves food so much that at one point he is storing a sandwich in his helmet. One kid accidently superglues his hands together. Danny's daughter, nicknamed "the Icebox" catapults one of the Cowboys (the rival team) into a muddy pond. My personal favorite is when Danny finds his quarterback by recruiting a kid who is throwing paper towel roles into his mother's shopping cart at the grocery store.
Anyways, I haven't been among the target audience for this movie in a dozen years or so. That said, it does hold a special place in my heart because I saw it for the first and only time at a slumber party when I was 12, where we stole a lot of my friend's dad's beer and tried to drink it. A lot of fun.
