Suspended from his job as the result of a scandal, a previously work-obsessed NFL coach (Kevin James) temporarily relocates to his Texas home town where his ex-wife (Jackie Sandler) and preteen son (Tait Blum) still live and, in an effort to bond with the alienated lad, joins the coaching staff (led by Taylor Lautner) of the boy’s Pop Warner football team. Under the direction of Charles and Daniel Kinnane, lame comedy mars what might have been a good-hearted fact-based drama about family reconciliation. Instead, viewers are left in the lurch by a range of gags that fall flat far more often than they succeed. Graphic gross-out humor, a few mild oaths, several crass expressions. The Catholic News Service classification is A-II — adults and adolescents. The Motion Picture Association rating is PG — parental guidance suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children.
