Alex & Me

This is a great kids movie not intended for adults but may enjoy it . I'm tired of vilent movies for kids that this is a graet movie for the familie. I't shows kids r o try hard and adults not to ignor and to be behind r hem 100%. I personatly prefer rhe Bad News Bears becouse it shows that you dont need to win to be aucsesfull.

My dad likes sports movies so agreed to watch this with young adults. We all enjoyed it. Yes, it's intended for kids but us adults liked it too. Cute movie, would probably watch it again.

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.

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

My wife and I watched this at home on BluRay from our public library. We thought the Oak trees looked familiar, I found it was shot in the New Orleans area, probably one of the suburbs like Kenner or Metairie.

It is about a 13-yr-old girl who wants to be a top soccer player, she has goals but we aren't quite sure if she is willing to work as hard as she needs to. She is played very convincingly by Siena Agudong as Reagan Wills.

She idolized professional Alex Morgan, has lots of Morgan things on her wall, including a life-sized poster. Reagan falls and hits her head, when she wakes up the poster is blank but Morgan is standing in front of her. Thing is everyone else thinks she is crazy because only Reagan can see Morgan and speak to her.

This story has a bit of "Bad News Bears" and "The Big Green" in it. Reagan wants to be on the elite team that wins every year but she is dismissed by the coach, then finds a team of rejects that aren't very good, with a coach who doesn't know anything about soccer. But with the help of Morgan, and eventually Reagan's dad, their team of rejects turn into a contender for the title.

There are a few scenes that play to the young teen rival cliche but in all it is a very nicely made movie with a good message - it is not enough to really want to be something, you also really have to work harder than everyone else.
