The movie "Home Team" is a true story based on when New Orleans Saints’ head coach Sean Payton was suspended during the 2012 season. During that time, he traveled to his son’s hometown hoping to reconnect with him. Connor Payton played for an unsuccessful pee-wee football team, the Warriors, and when his dad Sean showed up, he wasn’t very happy. He felt as if the only reason his dad was trying to “reconnect” with him was because he had nothing else to do due to the fact that he was suspended from the NFL season. But when the famous NFL coach decides to step in to coach the troubled youth football team, he turns the whole program around. In this movie, there are ups and downs, but in the end everybody is ultimately happy. Personally, I am a big sports fan, so this is a great choice for a sports-minded audience. It includes a good chunk of comedic football content, as well as some heartwarming moments between the team, as well as a couple moments between the main characters, Connor and Sean Payton. This is an excellent movie to watch with family, and will give everybody a good laugh. I definitely recommend!
