Gracie (2007)






When Gracie's star soccer brother Johnny dies in a car accident, she wants her father to help train her to play soccer. Her father isn't really interested because there is no girls' team at school, so he just continues working with his other boys. Gracie begins to lose interest in school and in doing the right things.
Gracie's dad decides he will help train her so she can make the boys team. At first Gracie isn't really in to it, but after getting knocked around by some of the boys on the team she really begins to work.
As the tryouts approach Gracie gets word she isn't going to be allowed to try out for the boys' team, which is the only soccer team.
Gracie files an appeal to be allowed to try out and she wins her appeal. Gracie tries out and gets roughed up by the boys on the team who don't want her to make it. Gracie makes it, but only on JV, and she isn't happy. She would rather quit. But somehow in the first varsity game she gets to play and she is put in to take the penalty kick. She misses off the post. As the kids on the other team knock her around, she doesn't quit. She dribbles through three players, nutmegs a guy, scores and wins the game.
Only in Hollywood. Could have been much better.
