In Kicking And Screaming (£19.99, Universal), released on November 21st,funny man Will Ferrell’s (OLD SCHOOL, ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY) humorous man-child anticsmeet actual kids on the soccer pitch. He plays vitamin salesman Phil Weston, a sensitive man easily capableof both crying and sewing. Unfortunately for Phil, these qualities have never quite endeared him to histough-as-nails father, Buck (Robert Duvall) who will stop at nothing to one-up Phil.

He goes so far as benching Phil’s 10-year-old son – his own grandson – on the youth soccer team he coaches.Upon Phil’s begging to get his son more playing time, Buck trades his grandson to the last-place team,the Tigers. Not just any normal cellar-dwelling outfit, the Tigers feature a cast of loveable losers whoprefer eating worms and telling jokes to playing soccer.

When the Tigers’ coach leaves, putting the season on the line, an inexperienced Phil steps in to helmhis son’s new team. With help from Buck’s neighbour and rival, real-life football coach Mike Ditka -hilariously playing himself – the Tigers turn their season around. Fuelled by a raging caffeine habit,Phil starts to overly obsess with beating Buck, losing sight of why he took the job in the first place -to be a better dad to his own son. Director Jesse Dylan (AMERICAN WEDDING) is a natural for the story-line,being famed musician Bob Dylan’s son.

Farrell, for once, is content to play straight arrow to the crazy tykes in the first half of the film,before he unleashes his trademark zaniness in the latter half. Those attributes alone, along with fun-lovingfamily themes, make KICKING & SCREAMING a treat for fans both young and old.

Fellini’s Casanova (£19.99, Fremantle) is out on October 31st.

A film of rare visual daring and imagination in which each frame is meticulously and attentively designed,Fellini’s Casanova is amongst Italian maestro Federico Fellini’s most sumptuous productions. In anastonishing piece of screen acting, Donald Sutherland portrays Casanova in his waning days, travelling froma bubonic-plagued Venice to a syphilitic London and a tubercular Germany and engaging in various amorousand political adventures with an air of bored detachment.
