The Jersey papers were brimming with reviews, commentaries and interviews of this film.  Based loosely on Shue’s brother that tragically died in a car accident.   I love Elizabeth Shue since ”Adventures in Babysitting” and, well, I hate to admit but I watched Melrose Place (Courtney and all) With Andrew Shue, her brother, reminded me of my own little goofy bro.  Cute but dummer than, than…well dumb.   So I think I will definitely watch this.  Sad story.

Even if it's getting so so reviews...I'll catch it! But not with my hands...

I'm supposed to see this movie this weekend. There are supposed to be lesbian references in the movie, but not the good kind.

There is supposed to be a part in the movie that has Shue's characters friends accuse her of being a lesbian because she plays soccer.

I would like to see these movies with lesbian characters, even if not the main one.

Blue Crush? The blonde chick can mack on all the football players she wants, but I would have loved to have had Sanoe Lake going on surfing excursions with one of the other girl surfers, then I could have fast-forwarded through all the stupid parts of that movie and just watched that:

She wants to take up pro tennis.

Elisabeth Shue Plans Pro Tennis Career

The Saint star Elisabeth Shue is in training to become a professional tennis player. The actress admits she has always been pretty good at the sport and now she's working on a second career on the courts of America.

She explains, "It's always been a dream of mine. I don't think I'll be playing at the (tennis tournament) US Open, but, by September, I'd like to be competing professionally, even at the lowest level. I've been training so hard, now I feel like more of a tennis player than an actress."

Gracie looks like something that'll be one of those movies that gets overlooked and becomes hugely popular in the underground world. Count me in.

I gotta say - not that the actress isn't appealing, but from an artistic point of view, I liked the first poster better. That, if nothing else, would draw me to watch the film.

And soccer.

I am so glad the this movie has been made.  I can soooo relate.

My freshman year in 1975, we had a rag tag girl's soccer team, the first ever for my high school, and we were coached by two guys from the varsity boys team. Our games were against Jr. high school boy's teams, and local community and state college women's teams.  No other high schools had girls soccer teams that year.  It was a learning experience for this one who had only played kickball in grade school.  My passion had been basketball, but the high school girl's b-ball coach at that time did not like girls shooting jump shots with one hand and not using the backboard (nothing but net wasn't proper mechanics). "Ladies always use both hands to aim at the backboard target to score 2 points from the perimeter!"  My how times have changed.  I was "advised" to take my lack of "girly correct" b-ball talent to the soccer team, and I have never regretted it.  The other high schools eventually fielded girl's teams, our high school girl's athletic director recruited her husband, a local university division I's men's coach, to come and coach our team. Our regional district eventually formed a league, and I went on to play for my college team and competitively in FIFA affiliated leagues back home for 28 years.  I have played both women's and co-ed soccer, both indoor and outdoor, and have made many lifelong friends.  I no longer play, as the mind is willing but the knees are not. but I truly have no regrets.  And I would like to thank that high school girl's b-ball team coach for giving me a lifetime of passion for the sport of soccer. I hear my old high school girl's b-ball team shoots nothing but net now. Heh!

Yeah, i am.....girls and soccer...my favorite thing in the world..lol jk.....but oh man, i am supper excited for this movie, i cannot wait. I've been playing for 13 years and i play at my college and im just thrilled, i love soccer movies, and this movie looks amazing. i think it will be great, anyone wanna go on a date with me to see this? i might just fall in love with you! haha

When I played soccer and ice hockey and even baseball as a little girl, or a pre-teen, I had to fight my way into boys teams... once I grew breasts, it was even harder...

Nice looking movie, pity they will never show it here...

I went and saw this tonight with some friends. We all loved it. We felt like empowered females. Even though were sorta unathletic. It was compelling and by the end I was on the edge of my seat. The little bit where there calling her a dyke was done well. And beyond that it was never mentioned again which was fine with me. I like that she didnt have some boring love interest dragging her down.

 One Peeve - Going to the movies and having fucking obnoxious loud scene-kids talking through the whole thing like there on the fucking Tyra Banks Show.

I was wondering what the commotion was all about! Shues! As with Garden State, another movie with an alum from my high school, there was a large amount of fanfare at the local theater.

Setting aside that Jersey pride, I actually haven't seen it. I tend to rent movies, and am not that big a sports fan but I think I'll make an exception for this.

Carly Schroeder looks like she could kick some serious ass!
