This is a delightful movie. It stars an excellent cast and great chemistry between the main characters. It is sweet and funny without trying too hard, and is a story about rising above conflict and deciding how to grow up, themes that are relevant for so many viewers. It is all too common that the passion for sports overtakes our lives, only to leave us devastated when we are not able to perform at the very top of our game. These characters handle the circumstances with humor and grace. This is one of the rare films that can be enjoyed by adults and kids alike. My kids were riveted and it sent them a very positive message about growing up, being strong, and living with character. I also love that the main character is a teenage girl, and she prevails as a determined and outspoken character who remains believable and likable at the same time. Love 16-Love!
