Kicking and Screaming Plot
Kicking & Screaming is a 2005 comedy film, directed by Jesse Dylan.
Phil Weston (played by Ferrell), is an average person who has had to
endure his father Buck's over-competitiveness throughout his childhood.
Phil decides to coach his son's recreational soccer team, and soon finds
that he's inherited his father's desire to win.
With assistant coach, Mike Ditka (played by himself), Phil and his team
go head-to-head with the best team of the league, headed by Buck (played
by Duvall). With old scores to settle, Phil and Buck go to desperate
lengths to win the championship.
Tagline: All his life Phil Weston has dreamed of being on a winning
team. Phil... your time has come.
Alternate Tagline: Only one man can lead this team to victory, but that
man was busy.
