Troop Zero (2019)

[Edgy MD]

A classic underdogs-vs.-snobs plot (The Bad News Bears meets Moonrise Kingdom with some The Greatest Christmas Pageant Ever and Little Miss Sunshine thrown in) unfolds as a group of near-feral southern Georgia kids in 1977 put together a girl scout troop (called "Birdie Scouts" to please the lawyers) to snag the big prize from the high-falutin' kids who wear shoes and stuff.

This was terrible

I quit half-way through. Lots of potential. Perfectly good performers. But it's like the screenwriters didn't even show up.

Sounds like the movie Troop Beverly Hills, about an unlikely group of girl scouts (wealthy, in this case) competing to win a jamboree.

And that one was predictable, but cute.

Was watching with the kid, so I couldn't shut it off.



It was better than the shopworn premise. thanks to the charm of some of the leads. Which isn't saying all that much.
