Editorial Review:
It's double the excitement and twice the fun when identical twins kick their way to soccer superstardom in this feel-good family adventure co-starring Tom Arnold and featuring a hilarious cameo by Olympic champion Cobi Jones. When it comes to playing sports, the Martin boys (Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Big Daddy) are just plain lousy but that's never stopped them from trying! And this year, they've made a vow to themselves and the neighborhood bully to lead their fledgling soccer team to victory. But for this klutzy combo, talking big is the easy part. It's actually scoring big that's the problem. Now they're so far in over their heads, it'll take world-class strength, courage and a steady supply of miraculous intervention to save them!
Description of Just for Kicks:
Twin boys Dylan and Cole (Dylan and Cole Sprouse) discover an amazingly talented soccer coach (Bill Dawes) in a most unlikely place when their father and coach (Tom Arnold) is called out of town on unexpected business. The once-pathetic Terrier team rises to greatness under Coach Rudy's tutelage and are soon in contention for the state finals, but their coach's secret past threatens their chance for victory and endangers the coach's life. While parents may find it hard to stomach the overwhelming barrage of pre-teen lingo and at-times weak acting, the overall message about the importance of teamwork and doing the right thing speaks to all ages. Alert viewers will also enjoy a very brief glimpse of Major League Soccer star Cobi Jones. (Ages 4 and older) --Tami Horiuchi
Just for Kicks Reviews:
Do not watch 
2009-12-16 - There's a reason you've probably not heard of this movie, and there are currently 33 copies for sale (used). It's a lousy film.
I'm no prude, but wanted to watch this with an 8-yr old boy who likes sports, and I just don't need yet another film modeling incompetent fathers, slutty aunts, and potty mouthed kids.
Furthermore, a lot of adults watch the film along with kids (and it becomes a springboard for discussion afterward), and the awful dialog, lousy acting, and flimsy plot just hurt my eyes and ears. I ended up just tossing this in the trash can.
AWESOME! 
2008-10-28 - Since i'm in like LOVE with Sprouse twins and i LOVE soccer i had to get this movie!I rented this movie first and FELL IN LOVE WITH IT.I rented it again and again.SO finally i HAD to buy this movie.What's better than Amazon?Cheap price,great serivce why not here?This is a family movie and the sprouse twins did a great job.This is a everyday cheerful movie.GREAT plot,great actors,and overall GREAT MOVIE.
Hollywood liberal political correctness
2008-05-07 - The father is incompetent and the woman comes in and coaches to a championship. Will we ever see it the other way around? of course not. I'm surprised the twin's parents permitted them to be in a movie with trash talk and bad language. -1 stars.
Terrible!!!
2008-04-22 - We were shocked at the amount of bad language used in just a few short minutes of the movie. What could have been a great show was ruined by the language/attitudes/behavior of the kids in the movie. I give this one star only because the review is requiring me to not because it deserves it.
Loved It
2006-02-07 - I personally liked the movie. I don't know what some other reviews mean by "bad language" there was nothing bad about it, ALL AGED MOVIE a good family movie. Definatly rent before you buy it though, i bought it before renting it but i loved it anyway. : )
