But Marge's life is upended when her beloved mother (Judy Greer) unexpectedly passes away. Marge decides to hunt down her estranged father (Steve Zahn), a faded ex-soccer star living in rural Mexico as a tequila aficionado and coach to the local women's fútbol team.

Film Threat

If acting is tricking the viewer into believing something made up is real, then [Steve] Zahn is a master of reality.

Rated: 7.5/10

Steve Zahn is brilliant at projecting the image of a lovable screw-up. Jess Gabor elevates what she has to work with, and her interplay with Zahn allows the film to stay focused during the scenes that matter most.

Rated: 6/10

Shallow, hackneyed, overstuffed and undercooked.

Not sure why all the negative reviews on this little gem of a film? I found it to be poignant and heart warming in spots, with radiant performances from Jess Gabor and Steve Zahn. It’s not necessarily going to be a blockbuster or award winner, but I found it very enjoyable. Give it a try.

What a great movie about heartache and tragedy. The cast was great and the directing was very good. Tim Treakle

Agreeably unique mixture between dysfunctional drama and sports practice with not much depth just to conform its structural duration with indecisive melodrama-focused climax that satisfies positively, mainly buoyed by the well-casted father-daughter performance with little resonance. (B)
