Oh hi,

This week on Filmsack, we perform our court mandated 104 minutes of community service over on Disney+ after getting busted for THE MIGHTY DUI.. DUCKS Under the Influence? Hey this is a kids movie Disney… and you hired the director of Critters and the future writer of Little Nicky to construct your 1992 ragtag group of outsider kids coming of age while dealing with their coach’s arrested development through the magic of sports-comedy? Well played D. Well played. Go for the W. Now let’s get out there and have some fun and not develop life long trauma… never-mind the fact that the coach keeps reminding you that “he made you” like some kind of weird hockey daddy who will never quit you. Quack Quack.  I’m making out with your momma. Quack Quack. Conflicted feelings about new duck daddy. Quack Quack

Anywho, do you know how I know this movie was made in the 90s and not the prior two decades? Because if it were the 70s or 80s… you would have spent half the movie putting on a series of wacky fundraisers involving bake sales, car washes, questionable sex stuff… and talent shows before you got around to hockey winning. Hey! I have a team of losers… can I have 15k dollars to whip them into shape… thanks man. Not better… just different.

Randy, remember… Soft Hands… RANDY! I SAID SOFT HANDS!

BRIEF

“The Mighty Ducks” follows the story of Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez), a hotshot lawyer who, after a DUI charge, is sentenced to community service coaching a youth hockey team. Reluctantly taking on the job, he soon realizes that the ragtag group of kids, the Ducks, need more than just a coach—they need someone who believes in them. With humor, heart, and some epic hockey scenes, this film shows the transformative power of teamwork and perseverance.
