The Winning Season
2009
105 Min
Searching for a coach for his hapless girls’ basketball team, school principal Terry (Rob Corddry) turns to his friend, Bill (Sam Rockwell), a divorced, drunken dishwasher who isn’t even involved in his own daughter’s life. But Bill’s life changes as he bonds with the team. He develops a special connection with team captain Abbie (Emma Roberts), and while the girls start winning, Bill and his players still have a lot to overcome off the court.
Much better than expected, 'cos it was well written and all of the actors were really charming. Of course, the movie would be nothing without Rockwell, who's always entertaining, regardless of the script or director.
