Kicking & Screaming - Little League Losers

Phil Weston's dad, Bucky Weston (played by Robert Duvall) has always been a very selfish person. When Phil tells him that he's gotten engaged, Bucky one ups him by also getting engaged to a hot, younger woman he met at the AM PM. When Phil's wife gives birth to their son Sam, Bucky's wife gives birth to their son, Bucky Jr., on the same day. As the two boys grow up together, Bucky ends up coaching their soccer team. But one day he decides that his grandson Sam just isn't cutting it and trades him to another team.

Kicking & Screaming - It's How You Play the Game

When Sam gets traded to the worst team in the league, The Tigers, Phil decides to step up to the plate and lead his son to victory. In the process Phil becomes addicted to winning... and coffee. He becomes a mad man and really jeopardizes his relationship with his family. Phil is willing to go to such great lengths to beat his dad though that this movie is jam-packed with hilarious scenarios. Like when Phil taunts kids from the other teams, makes the parents from the team run laps and watching his coaching outfits go from run-of-the-mill dad to animal print track suits!
