My wife and I thought it was well done and funny. My young daughters especially enjoyed watching Emily Osment and the soccer scenes. The story is not the most original, but it has a warm message driving it. Missi Pyle does a great job as Wendy and as Lorenzo. We really felt she cared about her daughter's happiness. It was fun to watch, and we laughed a lot. Rating:  - Similiar to She's the Man and especially Mrs. Doubtfire...I rented this movie from RedBox and I couldn't stop lauging as the mom tries to play a popular italian soccer star just to convince the girls soccer team that he is actually coming to coach. She and the soccer star actually got into an altercation at the airport and he blatantly refused to coach the soccer team, but there are some real surprising twists as the movie progreses. I was laughing for more than a full minute on the part where the real "Lorenzo" pours a pitcher of water on himself because two other people poured water on him because they thought he couldn't "make up his mind" on what to order. The truth of the matter was the mom (Missi Pyle) was impersonating him and they were in the same room! You just need to watch the movie to find out if the mom's (Missi Pyle's) act of playing Lorenzo the Italian soccer star is exposed. Emily Osmont did an excellent job as playing Missi Pyle's daughter and she is very good at playing soccer. I wish I could give this movie 6 stars because of how closely it resembled Mrs. Doubtfire and She's the Man (both excellent movies where people try to impersonate others). I wasn't sure why some people gave it negative reviews based on the sexual dialagoue, but this is a teen movie. What did you expect? But anyway this movie is actually worth buying and keeping as a collector's edition. Rating:  - Not a family movieI completely agree with the review called "Too many sexual references". In fact, I was getting on here to write a review just like it. I second everything "Joyful" said! Rating: - Too many sexual references I'm not sure why this movie was rated so highly from the others. It had way too many sexual references to be even shown to teenagers. It's as though it's so common and acceptable that when two men or two women or two of anyone kiss and grope, we just laugh. Why do most films these days have to have a gay theme, also? The language was also shotty. It would have been a great movie with a great theme of the mother wanting to see her daughter happy. That's about all I saw good about it. Don't buy or rent it. There are other movies worth your time. Your kids may thank you for your values when they get older. Rating: - Cute family movieSoccer Mom is a cute family movie that showcases Missie Pyle's range and better than average acting skills. Take out the silly Italian accents and formula driven plot and focus on the interactions and family narrative and you have a pretty good movie. All in all a good movie.
