Home Team is the latest movie from Adam Sandler's Happy Madison productions for Netflix. Kevin James plays Sean Payton, the New Orleans Saints head coach who was suspended for the 2012 football season, went home to Texas and ended up coaching his preteen son's football team. Taylor Lautner, Rob Schneider, and Jackie Sandler (Adam's wife) co-star. Sean Payton has a cameo as a janitor near the end of the movie.

I'm not a sports fan but love watching little league sports movies, not the actual sports. One of my favorites is The Sandlot and I was hoping Home Team would be as enjoyable. It is but not as much as The Sandlot which has more of the boys' screen time and funny memorable quotes. Home Team even borrows the barfing scene which is overdone and too gross. I still loved the movie. Worth a re-watch.
