What they share
Both films are directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Bear, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Hothead is
Here's a film that attempts to mix sports glory with small-town revenge. After scoring the winning goal, a bench-warmer uses his newfound celebrity to settle scores with his tormentor. It might be more interesting if football weren't so boring.
