Soccer Mom xxx

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

To be honest, the only reason I watched this movie was because I'm a great fan of actress Cassie Scerbo have and been ever since watching her incredible performance in "Bring It On: In It To Win It." .. This movie is cute to watch as a family but I wouldn't say its absolutely amazing!! A good bunch of actors playing the roles with a really well-known actresses playing the leads (Missy Pyle & Emily Osment) but it sort of tells a story that has been out for years and just dressing it up again as something new. As well as this, the movie features good music and tells quite a heart-warming story of girl who will not give up on her dream. It's like "Mrs. Doubtfire" goes the way of "Jack Frost" i Think .. which were movies that helped deal with loss, sadness and disguise. With some comedic moments, a good cast and an acceptable story, Soccer Mom will be a favorite of young people and a good family film. An O.K movie, not the best and not the worst!! Rating: 6/10.
