There's no crying in baseball, but apparently, there's a lot of kicking and screaming in kids' soccer. At least, that's the impression given by "Kicking & Screaming," a mid-level Will Ferrell comedy that, while not "Elf"-brilliant, is enjoyable and often quite funny.

Austin American-Statesman: 2 of 5 stars
"This toothless trifle is harmless enough, but it doesn't belong in a movie theater. With its strenuously innocuous tenor and dunderheaded moralizing out of 'Air Bud,' its home is on the family shelf at Blockbuster, dusty and buried deep."
