Ok,this is a formula film but it works. It's a cross between "The Bad News Bears" and "Dangerous Minds".It is very well acted by all the kids and Keanu Reeves is good.I could have did without the tear jerker twist but it worked and the audience at the sneak preview ate it up. Diane Lane deserved more screen time but she did the most with what she was given. It's unoriginal but a whole lot better than I expected it to be. This could be be the fall's first sleeper hit if marketed right.

Why did this get the axe?
28 April 2001
I remember this debut at #1 or #2 -it was riding on the tails of Melrose Place and had Drew Barrymore. It was great trash that while it fell in the ratings a little was one night time soap that if it came back the next year would have stole the spotlight from Melrose Place the same way Dynasty did from Dallas.
