Bad Parents (2012)

Bad Parents: Directed by Caytha Jentis. With Janeane Garofalo, Christopher Titus, Michael Boatman, Reiko Aylesworth. A suburban mom relives her season with the soccer obsessed sports parents whose outrageous “win at all costs” behavior spirals out of control.

“Bad Parents takes a fine, if obvious premise that traveling youth soccer is a vicious jungle and tries hard to make a full movie out of the carnage. But too much emphasis on the repressed sexual needs of the moms, and a terribly misguided reaction to a state finals loss pushes this film over the edge from funny to pathetic.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs a rule itu0026#39;s only funny if itu0026#39;s funny. If you want to make is serious, thatu0026#39;s in play, but then you should consider being realistic.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was a soccer parent for several years. The truth in this film is strong in spots, but it got bent like Beckham in my opinion.”
