Movie Reviews:

• Kamurai: Really good watch, could watch again, and can recommend.
• There are some outdated references, but mostly the movie holds up over time. All the key points are the same, it’s mostly playing football between haves and have nots, with a strong female empowerment element.
• It’s great to see a fun bunch of “misfit” kids working together to overcome adversity.
• I miss Rick Moranis in the industry, and he’s fantastic. They did such great character work on each of the kids and the movie is filled with charming moments.
• If you liked “Benchwarmers” or “The Sandlot” and wanted a football version of this sort of movie, check out this one.
