Movie Haiku:Fact-based story about a teenager (Schroeder) who throws herself body & soul into competitive soccer in the early days of Title IX, thereby forcing everyone around her to take sides. Rich is right that the outlines of this story are routine, but Jan likes the details: family, schoolmates, townfolk all ring true.
