As advertised, a light Disney sports movie, but it's about hockey, and that might as well be a cinematic B-12 shot (even a bad sports movie is better if it's on the ice). I found myself invested in the story and it didn't take all that long either.
Emilio Estevez does a great job here. You can feel his frustration with having to face down past failures and dealing with this big ol' mess of a team; but then he starts to care and overall spirits really pick up. And the kids are funny in their own right, it amounts to a pretty solid effort all around.
"The Mighty Ducks" doesn't aspire to be "Miracle" or "Slap Shot" and there's charm in that. I really enjoyed myself here.
