Ed R Another touchdown for Happy Madison productions! A biop of NFL Head Coach Sean Payton with a humorous twist! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Jake S Most people are mad about how this strays from the facts about the saints coach but I think its a fun movie that has a good message. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/26/25 Full Review Jay W When done right, I am a huge fan of sports movies. I am even a big fan of Adam Sandler produced comedy sports movies. Stuff like "Happy Gilmore" and "Here Comes the Boom" are really good movies. I even like Kevin James, "King of Queens" is an all-time great comedy. But this movie lacked any of the charm or energy that made any of those previously named comedies work. To touch on the positive side before tearing this movie down: the movie is short, and there were 3 or 4 jokes that made me chuckle. Kevin James is an interesting pick for Sean Payton. Particularly since in most scenes they set up Sean Payton to be the no-nonsense straight man for the more absurd characters to work off of. Kevin James can be funny, just let him be funny movie. Not saying that Kevin James can't do heartfelt, but this isn't the movie for that either. The actor is stuck in the realm between too serious to be funny, and too funny to be taken serious. The running gags get run into the ground. The jokes all have the most obvious punchlines, and you as the audience are just waiting for them to be done. There is an overly long gross out portion where every kid on the team in vomiting. Disgusting? Yes. Funny? No. The main kid comes across as annoying. The movie attempts to have a hear to heart moment towards the end, with no heart. The movie teaches the same after-school special lessons that we've heard a dozen times. "Winning isn't everything" and "spend more time with your family". Don't get me started on the basic football and sports stuff they get wrong. There is no way a team can begin a season 0-6 and make it to the state championship. And if your field goal kicker can't kick, then go for the 2-point conversion. The stakes for winning have never been lower. The whole event comes across as something that Sean Payton did with him time off because he was bored and had nothing better to do. Much like how I imagine this movie got made. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Avarie W This is one of the best movies I have ever seen! I have seen it so many times it is always a movie that I would be up to watching. My brother and I know basically the entire script we've seen it so many times. It is extremely funny and heartwarming. Even if you don't know football you are bound to love Home Team! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/13/24 Full Review Artan M What a waste of time! Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/24 Full Review SkyRo P "Home Team," featuring Kevin James and Taylor Lautner, is a delightful film that I found quite enjoyable. It stays true to the comedic essence of its cast while reintroducing Lautner to the mix. While it's not the kind of blockbuster that would have you rushing to the theater, it's perfect for a cozy family night in, streaming a lighthearted sports comedy. Kevin James plays a coach who gets caught up in the glitz of his career, neglecting his family, only to find himself needing to rebuild those connections. The film also benefits from a vibrant supporting cast that adds unexpected layers to the story, making the journey more entertaining than anticipated. Tait Blum brings fresh talent to the screen, introducing viewers to a newcomer who adds a unique perspective to the narrative. Additionally, Rob Schneider, a comedic icon, rounds out the cast. He often walks the fine line between being over-the-top and perfectly balanced in his roles, and in this film, he strikes just the right chord. I wholeheartedly recommend giving "Home Team" a chance. While it may not win over critics, it’s a fun, family-friendly film that deserves to be enjoyed. So, gather your loved ones and settle in for a good time!
