I put in a little overtime last night and went to Blockbuster to rent some movies for the Coworkers...
I'm pretty sure I mentioned this already but they have all entered a youth soccer league where, for some unknown reason, teams consist of 3 kids...As such, they are all on one team...a superpower if you will.
The CEO is coaching. I find this hilarious because I know for a fact the CEO nor myself (or anyone else in our family for that matter) has ever played competitive soccer. We're more sports fans than athletes...Sure, I did play JV basketball in high school but that was mainly for the free equipment - I'm a big fan of basketball shorts. True story.
So anyway, since they're on one unit I decided rather than purchase 3 different movies for each I picked 3 movies we could watch as a team.
I'm trying to boost team chemistry and I'm pretty sure I once read that the Brazilian national team does the same thing...So I picked up The Incredibles, Meet The Robinsons, and An Extremely Goofy Movie...
I'm especially curious about An Extremely Goofy Movie since the plot sounds very VERY similar to that of the Rodney Dangerfield classic Back to School...
Now, not to go all Levar Burton on you but don't take my word for it, read the movie descriptions I got off the internet:
Exhibit A -
Join [name removed] and his son in a hip and hilarious movie that kicks up outrageous fun on the road to higher education. It's a life of freedom as [Son] sets off for college -- but [Dad] misses [Son] so much he literally falls down on the job. The laughs come fast and furious as he shows up, leisure suit and all, to finish college alongside his son and his friends. When [Dad] meets the librarian, they hit if off and spark a stuck-in-the-seventies relationship that steals the show. But as [Dad] tries to get closer to [Son], both must learn how to live their own lives ... together!
Exhibit B -
Higher education will never be the same when the maniac takes on the brainiacs! [Dad's] son is a college misfit, so [Dad's] lending some fatherly support...by enrolling as a fellow freshman! Who cares if he never finished high school? His pockets are deep enough to buy a ticket to class...But when he ticks off his professor by stealing his girlfriend, Dad takes things just a little too far. Now, he'll have to hit the books or go back to being a dropout!
See what I mean?
Either way, I think the kids will be pretty happy with my choices...
