Disney had an unexpected hit with this predictable comedy about a smug lawyer (Emilio Estevez) busted for drunk driving and ordered to coach a sad-sack team of hockey-playing kids as community service. The kids triumph over their sundry problems, and Estevez's character grows up a little. End of story. A perfectly harmless movie for kids and adults who are giving their brains a night off. <I>--Tom Keogh</I>

The kids classic The Mighty Ducks does everything right; case-end-point, Although there is much to be said for this beloved Disney tale.
Gordon Bombay(Emilio Estevez) was once a boy who loved hockey more then anything, when his father passes away and he loses the final shot for his team and their pee-wee championship he's scarred for life, and turns to a dark future as a no-good defense lawyer. When he gets court mandated community service to coach a pee-wee hockey team, (which seem to look more like a group of misfits then any sort of team) his hatred of children becomes a love, which leads him back to his greater love of the game itself.
The cast of children is full of wide-eyed talent, lead by an adorable Charlie(Joshua Jackson) and hilarious Goldberg(Shaun Weiss) that still constantly make me laugh time and time again.
A fun film for anyone young at heart, hockey lover or not!
