GRACIE
I know you've probably seen your share of underdog sports films from Rudy to Radio, but just give this one a chance. Amanda Bynes had a similar story in She's the Man, which I thought was hilarious. But, this is a true tale about a girl who takes her brother's place on a soccer team after he dies in a car accident. She's not only grieving for the loss of her best friend, but battling naysayers who are stuck in the dark ages with the notion that women are deficient in all things athletic. I'm sorry, have you ever heard the names Mia Hamm, Serena Williams, or Laila Ali? The lead, Carly Schroeder (Mean Creek), is an up and coming actress with a lot of promise. She'll have you screaming at the misogynists on the screen and mentally pinpointing the nearest Modell's for a soccer ball.
Release Date: June 1
EAGLE vs. SHARK
Alright, now if you're into ridiculous films like Borat and Napoleon Dynamite and you have thing for awkward bumbling idiots, you might like this film. It's about a guy who plans on killing his childhood bully and simultaneously gets his first girlfriend. But the murder plot takes a major back seat to the romance, and since he's so "special" it's all equally fun to watch.
Release Date: June 15
