Wildcats
“Her dream was to coach high school football. Her nightmare was Central High.”
Comedy
High school track coach Molly McGrath knows just as much about football as anyone else on the planet. When a football coach's position becomes vacant, she applies for the job, despite snickers from fellow staff members and her former husband.
VIBE
A classic 80s underdog sports comedy. It's a feel-good romp about overcoming doubt and proving yourself, packed with cheesy jokes and triumphant moments. Perfect for a nostalgic, uplifting watch.
