The Big Green
Reviewed by the Movie-Knight team · Updated
"The Big Green" is a heartwarming 1995 family comedy about a British teacher in a struggling Texas town who uses soccer to inspire her unmotivated students and unite the community. Parents should know the film promotes teamwork and self-esteem through sports, with gentle humor and very mild thematic challenges that are ultimately resolved positively. It's a sweet, uplifting story that is appropriate for ages 6 and up.
