If you loved Simon Birch, try The Mighty Ducks
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Comedy / Drama / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to Simon Birch, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Mighty Ducks is
A lawyer fresh off a DWI gets shunted into coaching a kids' hockey team for community service. His distaste for the sport and his old coach's skepticism mirror the ragtag team's own shaky start. By the final buzzer, everyone’s scored more than just goals.
