DVD Reviews of Soccer Mom
DVD Review: "Oh, and darling, if we lose today, you're still my daughter. It'd just be a little harder to love you."
Summary: 4 Stars
For the record, it isn't Missi Pyle's character who says that to her daughter. She and Emily Osment share a different sort of dysfunction.
Parents will do the screwiest things for their kids. SOCCER MOM demonstrates this, with Missi Pyle playing a harried mom who masquerades as famous Italian soccer star, Lorenzo Vincenzo, who comes to coach her 14-year-old daughter's hapless soccer team. SOCCER MOM hits its high points whenever the disguise is on and I grinned at all the wacky that went down. Missi Pyle, under all the prosthetic, looks passable as a dude, although she's not as convincing with the posture and the man voice. Still, Missi is so likable that it's easy to overlook those nitpicks. There's just a bit of Lucille Ball in Missi Pyle.
It's nice to see Emily Osment temporarily shedding HANNAH MONTANA to do her own thing, to step into the spotlight for once. Emily's angry teen role doesn't lend much room for her comedic talents so she switches it up and demonstrates a nice dramatic presence. It also adds a measure of believability that Osment actually has eight or nine years of soccer-playing experience. Underneath all the silly stuff, the core beat concerns the strained relationship between a mom and a daughter grieving over the loss of her father, and the mom's desperate attempt to reconnect. It all adds up to a warm-hearted family flick with bits of good old-fashioned silly cross-dressing thrown in. The soccer sequences won't light up any soccer fan, but that's not the point, anyway. The screwball's the thing, and how ridiculous it really gets when the real (and blustery) Lorenzo Vincenzo shows up at the regional finals. But we all knew that wasn't not gonna happen.
The DVD's bonus stuff: "Heart of Goal" features interviews with cast members Missy Pyle, Emily Osment, and Dan Cortese (00:07:48 minutes); "From Mom To Man" reveals the arduous process which transforms Missy Pyle into Lorenzo Vincenzo (00:06:27); and the movie trailer.
