A Winning Team

I love Kristoffer Polaha, so it pains me to say that the majority of this film was painful to watch. I don't want to pile on about the hair, but the combed forward look was less than flattering.

The basic story is about a professional soccer player named Emily Chen, she gets suspended from the team by her coach because of her unsportsmanlike conduct, unprofessional play and lack of team orientation. She goes to visit her brother an niece where she ends up helping the local coach Ian with her niece's soccer team.

I didn't care for the persona they created for Emily, super competitive and self absorbed. It made for very awkward tv. I want to emphasize that it wasn't the actress because she was beautiful and had some brilliant on screen romantic moments with Kristoffer Polaha. I can only assume that it was the direction. I suffered thru to the end so I could leave an honest review...but normally I would have bailed within the first 15 minutes, it was truly that bad.

Sorry to say this is not a recommendation from me.
