It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I'm from Minnesota and I have a friend who had a small part in this film. He played the cop who pulls Gordon Bombay over when he gets the DUI. If you look at this as a relationship movie, with Bombay trying to get back his self respect, it is great fun. The kids are cute and funny. They have been losers their whole live and they now have the opportunity for success. The writers throw in some things that are a bit too much. Bombay ends up coaching against a guy who humiliated him as a child when he missed a penalty shot (by the way, why wasn't the score tied after he missed it since a goal would have won the game?). Hockey is a unique sport. Just the skating is a great challenge. Those kids could barely stand on skates, yet they becomes skilled skaters after a couple weeks. Those other teams were light year ahead. Also, those ridiculous plays that they run just won't happen. And the big guy with the slap shot. So we need to ignore that because this whole thing is fantasy. Even the top hockey newspaper writing feature articles on a peewee team is just not going to happen. Nevertheless, if I take it at face value, it's a hoot.

The mighty ducks is arguably the greatest movie of all time. Action? You got it! Thrills? You bet! Epic showdown between the forces of good and evil? Artfully executed in the guise of children playing peewee hockey. This movie taught me lessons of life that I am proud to say I have already, and will continue to, pass on to my children! Quack! Joshua Jackson kills it as up-and-comer Charlie Conway learning from the master himself, Gordon Bombay (a dazzling performance by Emilio Estevez) who learns and even relearns a few life lessons of his own as he teaches a ragtag group of kids how to play the games of hockey and life.

A self-centered lawyer (Emilio Estvez) is sentenced to community service coaching a rag tag youth hockey team.I am not going to say this is an amazing movie, because really it is nothing all that special. No great directing, no great acting (Estevez is awesome, but not necessarily a good actor). The script is completely by the book and predictable all the way. But the intent was never to make a masterpiece or an award-winner. It is just a fun movie for kids and adults who like to feel like kids.All I really want to write here is: I wonder if Bill Murray had gotten the role of Gordon Bombay, how would that have been different? I think it would have been a better movie, but what do I know? Maybe Murray would have been too goofy or too serious. He is not "lovable" like Estevez is. Either way, it is a movie I would love to see.

Disney's 1992 live action film "The Mighty Ducks" is about a man caught for drinking, and now he had to perform community service: by coaching a peewee hockey team. This is a very great movie about hockey; it's the best, and it is a much nicer film than that stinkin' "Miracle" film, that's for sure!!!!!This movie, as well as D2 and D3, are awesome as well. I also liked the cartoon series that came out in 1996. I hope D4 will be as good, just like these old ones!!!!!Also, look out in this movie for the 1992 Minnesota North Stars, in which one of the players at that time included Mike Modano and a year later, they moved here to Dallas as the Dallas Stars!!!!!"The Mighty Ducks" is the best hockey movie out there. Don't miss out!!!!!10/10
