Gracie Bowen (Carly Schroeder)
is the only girl among her parents' four children. Her
brothers and father (Dermot Mulroney) eat, breathe and
sleep soccer, and practice the sport every day. When her
beloved older brother, Johnny, is killed in a tragic
accident, Gracie attempts to come to terms with her
grief by petitioning the school board to let her take
Johnny's place on the boys varsity soccer team.

"Producers
Elisabeth and Andrew Shue seem so intent
on creating a hero out of the main
character and villains out of almost
everyone else, that they've completely
distorted reality."

Claudia Puig |
"Though its
heart is in the right place, Gracie
has the predictable and formulaic feel
of so many inspirational sports dramas."
