This week we pick Netflix‘s new family comedy ‘Home Team’ as our movie of the week. The film is based on the true story of New Orleans Saints’ head coach Sean Payton (Kevin James), who was suspended for a season due to an investigation related to the team’s bounty scandal (players were allegedly paid to injure opposing players).
Payton gets suspended from the league and banned from coaching after winning the Super Bowl – and he goes back to his hometown and finds himself reconnecting with his 12-year-old son by coaching his Pop Warner football team.
Directed by Charles and Daniel Kinnane, the movie also stars Taylor Lautner, Rob Schneider, Jackie Sandler, and Tait Blum.
The movie is currently streaming on Netflix.
