Alex & Me

I think this movie is aimed at kids under 13, even though it has a story for everyone, most of the actors would not be classed as A list, but the enthusiasm of the younger actors is refreshing. They do a much better job than most of the adult actors.

Alex Morgan should stick to soccer, she is obviously a pretty good player.

Siena Agudong is very good throughout the movie and has a bright future.

James Moses Black overacts as the opposition coach and is obnoxious, but again he is supposed to be and does a pretty good job.

I stayed the distance and watched this all the way through, but it is definitely not aimed at adults and many would turn off very early on.

Most younger children would love it and some adults might, I found it good enough to watch once, but wouldn't watch it again.

A family movie with no violence or foul language.

This is a fantasy tale so naturally some of the plot elements are just that--fantasy. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the humor and feel-good aspects of the movie, but it also can be a little too sugary sweet and predictable for my tastes.

Siena Agudong gives a most natural performance here as thirteen-year-old Reagan, who idolizes the soccer great Alex Morgan. When Reagan hits her head on a piece of furniture, one of Reagan's posters of Morgan comes to life and begins to mentor Reagan in her dreams of becoming a really good player. I might mention that Morgan is supremely gorgeous and a great athlete but her acting is a little stiff at this point.

Overall, if you take this movie, written and directed by Eric Champnella, for what it is, it can be funny and a feel-good flick that I would think the whole family could enjoy.

I'm always reluctant to watch american movies about football, because I feel that they lack the real knowledge about the sport to appropriately put it into the big screen. But for Alex & Me, they got Alex Morgan, and she knows a lot about the sport and its mechanics. She is not only a great player, but she's also a smart player, which is something you always want to have in a team. Her presence in this film gave me a bit of hope regarding the treatment of the sport in the film, although not real expectations.

It turned out to be a moving film, filled with hope and dreams, not over-the-top dreams, but achievable ones according to the context of the film. A young girl trying to do what she loves, which is to play football, to do it well and to be victorious.

Overall, it's a nice, entertaining sports family film; Siena Agudong does a great job as the protagonist, Reagan. Plus, you got international soccer superstar, Alex Morgan. You'll have a good time.

Riddled with cliches and trophes, it still bears something you would care to watch one day. The young actress got some talent and Alex Morgan is better than most athletes you seen act(cough.... Shaq)!

Very sweet and heart warming. Nothing new but a feel good movie. ☺
