Wildcats (1986)

Such a frustrating disappointment

It is a performances centric movie

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

YO, the only reason this rating is low is cause this movie is about the success and society inflicted difficulties of a white woman and a group of mostly black men. It is not 'light' but it is funny, goldie is not 'frizzy' but she is a strong lead. Hate to say it, but imdb ratings are low for most female driven movies that dont put white men in a good light. this covers a spectrum of issues around control, gaslighting, neglect, racism, sexism, classism. This is some good shit. Keep your eyes and ears open. love and light <3

I love Goldie Hawn and have liked many of the movies she's been in...This one though; Brutal! Not on her part, mind you...Just the whole premise...Funny to see a young Wesley Snipes and Woody playing high school kids...But not funny haha...The 80's was one of the worst decades since the early 20th century WW1 and Spanish flu etc...I found myself wincing with the blatant PC garbage...You can see the start of it all back then...Cliché upon cliché, dialog written by one of those annoying kids from pick an 80's movie...I was hoping this stood the test of time, I didn't see it in the 80's when it came out. It sounded stupid then, when I was in my mid 20's and I feel vindicated in my early judgment...If you loved the 80's, you'll love this movie. I despised the 80's so, perhaps I'm just taking it out on this movie...Nah; it was horrible!

I vaguely remember this movie as a kid. So I had to revisit it. And to my surprise, I thought it was a fun movie. It's got some strange dated material. And all the "kids" look like they were 30 years old, but I had a fun time watching Goldie, Wesley and Woody when they were young. It's really great watching them in hindsight and where their career is now.For those sick of watching comedies today that skate a politically correct agenda, I think Wildcats is a fun watch. Also, if we're in the realm of football...a LOT more honest than a movie like "The Blind Side" which seemed more like a fairy tale.

this movie brings back so many memories goldie hawn was excellent the soundtrack rocks if only i could turn back the clock the year was 1986 Wesley snipes was good so was woody i did not know that those two were acting in the 1980s the rest of the cast was excellent i like the part when they jump in the dumpster and the little boy slams the door on goldies feet i love this movie why cant we still make movies like these anymore r.i.p.nippsey Russel he was the principal of the school and also when Marva and Jerome get caught on the sofa and when the girls dye their red i like when all of the team goes to court with molly and they act like clowns.
