- Fun Football Frolic
We enjoy movies about underdogs, and this movie with its overly long title is no exception. Tony Danza is Philadelphia garbage man Barney Gorman, who has developed incredible leg strength by kicking a hydraulic control handle on his garbage truck, named Ethel. When Philadelphia Eagles' recruiter Wendy Fox (Julie Stewart) spots Barney kicking water bottles incredible distances, she gets the idea to add Barney to the team. At the time the Eagles were doing poorly and their kicker was missing easy field goals and extra points (according to this movie - I have no clue as to how the real Eagles were doing at that point).

Barney becomes an instant celebrity as he embodies the spirit of every person who has ever dreamed of playing for a professional football team. However, Barney encounters significant resistance from Coach Rogenheimer (Art LaFleur) and his team mates, including huge Bubba (Jaime Cardriche), ... Read More

- A fun film
It is a great comedy about a garbage collector who gets a chance to be in the NFL and the impact this has on him, his family, and his team. The only negative comment I can make is that the title is too long. Definitely recommended.

- A Feel Good Football Movie
Barney Gorman (Danza) is a garbage man (sanitation engineer) for the City of Philadelphia. His garbage truck (Ethel) is old and has a problematic hydraulic unit. Barney has developed quite a leg, of necessity, from kicking the lift lever to make it operate. His wife Marie, (Jessica Tuck a/k/a Jillian on "Judging Amy) is an assistant at a local hospital. His son is embarrassed when his Dad shows up at the school for "Career Day" (kind of like parental occupational Show & Tell) reeking of garbage and exhibiting a dead, well-taxidermed rat.

The Philadelphia Eagles are having a mediocre year - to the chagrin of their new owner who is trying to prevail on local government to build him a new stadium. (If you live in Minnesota, this part will sound WAY too familiar.) While looking for possible new sites for the stadium, the owner sees a disgruntled Barney kicking empy containers out of the garbage dump, ... Read More

- Dis Movees FANTestic
If there ever was a movie which truly made point of expressing the heart and soul of Philadelphia, it's the Trash Picking Field Goal Kicking something or other. Following the path of many Italian American actors such as Sidney Poitier, Reb Brown, and Rip Taylor; Tony Danza gave a performance which screamed OSCAR! Unfortunately, the Academy was in the midst of dealing with Titanic and couldnt be disturbed when Mr. Danza took a tape of the film to the Academy's Doorstep. Bravo Mr. Danza, you've lit the flame for young Italian American actors who are semi-retarded, one phrase describes you...SIMPLY THE BEST I look forward to your guest appearance in the next Angels in the Outfield movie as well as the ten year reunion of Whose The Boss? ..."Whose the boss Mr. Danza?" YOU ARE! -TonyDanzaIsMyDad
