Kicking and Screaming

In the heart of a bustling suburban town, “Kicking and Screaming” chronicles the journey of two estranged brothers, Max and Zach, who find themselves reluctantly teaming up for a youth soccer league. Max is a self-proclaimed sports cynic, having dedicated his life to his job as a high school debate coach, while Zach is an overly enthusiastic father and the epitome of ‘the soccer dad’. When their childhood soccer coach, a beloved yet eccentric figure, suddenly passes away, the brothers are thrust together to honor his legacy by coaching the local team of misfit kids, nicknamed the “Rockets.”

The cast of young players includes the quick-witted and rebellious Mia, whose talent is overshadowed by her disdain for authority, and Ethan, a nervous introvert facing his fears on the field. Each child brings their own unique challenges, demanding the brothers to navigate their clashing ideologies of parenting and coaching while rediscovering the bonds of brotherhood. As practices lead to chaos on and off the field, the duo’s contrasting personalities clash hilariously, from heartwarming moments of connection to laugh-out-loud absurdity.

As the seasons change, personal issues bubble to the surface. Max grapples with his decision to distance himself from family, driven by a past that he struggles to come to terms with, while Zach wrestles with his insatiable need to prove he can be a perfect father, despite juggling work and family responsibilities. Along the way, the team faces formidable opponents both in the league and within themselves, leading to transformative experiences that teach each member about resilience, teamwork, and the importance of fun.

Kicking and Screaming is a heartfelt exploration of family dynamics, redemption, and the sometimes chaotic journey to find common ground. Bursting with laughter, poignant moments, and unexpected friendships, this series captures the essence of community spirit, reminding us that even in kicking and screaming, we can find our voice and strength together in the most unlikely of circumstances. With an eclectic soundtrack, vibrant cinematography, and a lovable cast, this enchanting tale promises family entertainment that audiences of all ages will cherish.
