Written by the same screenwriter who wrote ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD, THE BIG GREEN develops its fun and excitement without resorting to crude humor, sex or obscene language. There are a few mild and moderately rough words, but they are not enough to keep the film from being acceptable. And even though Anna and Tom are attracted to each other, they do not become involved in an affair. Also, Anna and Tom take a personal interest in each of their young players and help them become something very special. They even arrange for the mother of Juan Morales to remain in Texas and not be deported back to Mexico. The dads and mothers of the team are very supportive of their kids and the whole town rallies behind them. Even the negligent, alcoholic father of one of the girl team members comes to realize how much his daughter needs his love and attention. THE BIG GREEN is a feel good movie and it is encouraging to see such a quality film make its appearance in lieu of the usual degenerate fare so prevalent today.
