Advertised in terms of the "Can our scrappy little underfunded team beat the smug big-leaguers?" motif, this movie also includes a love triangle and an assortment of characters who might have been better served by a TV series that afforded time for character development. Zeev Revach, starring as the team manager, makes up for the sketchiness of the script by employing his decades of acting experience and his expressively saggy face. The script gives the younger actors less to work with-- no backgrounds and only the shallowest of motivations. The script does pull a rabbit out of a hat when one of the minor characters comes forward to change the situation. I have to admit that I didn't expect it.
