The Mighty Ducks is timeless. Does it help that I was 7 when it came out? Yeah, probably, but either way a group of scrappy underdogs banding together for sports is really as close to being a sports fan as I get.
The Mighty Ducks
They can't skate. They can't win. They can't be serious.

After reckless young lawyer Gordon Bombay gets arrested for drunk driving, he must coach a kids hockey team for his community service. Gordon has experience on the ice, but isn't eager to return to hockey, a point hit home by his tense dealings with his own former coach, Jack Reilly. The reluctant Gordon eventually grows to appreciate his team, which includes promising young Charlie Conway, and leads them to take on Reilly's tough players.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A heartfelt sports comedy about a cynical lawyer learning to believe in himself and his misfit team of kid hockey players. It's earnest and funny in equal measure, with the warmth of watching underdogs discover they're capable of more than they thought.
