Will Ferrell stars as vitamin salesman Phil Weston, a
sensitive man easily capable of both crying and sewing. Unfortunately for Phil,
these qualities have never quite endeared him to his tough-as-nails father, Buck
(Robert Duvall) who will stop at nothing to one-up Phil. He goes so far as
benching Phil’s 10-year-old son--his own grandson--on the youth soccer team he
coaches.
Upon Phil’s begging to get his son more playing time, Buck trades his
grandson to the last-place team, the Tigers. Not just any normal cellar-dwelling
outfit, the Tigers feature a cast of lovable losers who prefer eating worms and
telling jokes to playing soccer.
When the Tigers’ coach leaves, putting the
season on the line, an inexperienced Phil steps in to helm his son’s new team.
With help from Buck’s neighbor and rival, real-life football coach Mike
Ditka--hilariously playing himself--the Tigers turn their season around.
Fueled
by a raging caffeine habit, Phil starts to overly obsess with beating Buck,
losing sight of why he took the job in the first place--to be a better dad to
his own son.
