Fred Durst made a movie about a rag-tag group of underdog athletes and their zany, unlikely rise to the championship? No, Fred Durst made a Ice Cube-supported inspirational comedy based on the true story of an adolscent girl quarterback facing discrimination based on her gender that has a title that implies it's about a rag-tag group of underdog athletes and their zany, unlikely rise to the championship. But it's still no less confusing that the leader of Limp Bizkit was given such a responsibility, or that the trailer is more like grueling Cliff Notes than a teaser.

Thanks to Kyle for the tip, and for tipping me off to Durst's next project: Screwballz! (The Jackie Robinson Story).

Poor girl. She stood against adversity and this is what she gets?

Girl: "I'm getting a movie made about me? AWESOME! My struggle will not go unnoticed!"
Hollywood Rep: "Yeah, it's a Fred Durst project."
Girl: *puts gun in mouth*

I have long thought and hoped that Fred Durst was dead. Now this? I like Ice Cube and think he can be a pretty good actor, but 98% of his movies* are absolute shit. He and William H. Macy should get together for a "We deserve better" project.
* Friday is really the only good one. Percentage may not seem to add up, but this is a weighted grade. That disappointingly non-porn XXX sequel as well as the two in the Are We There Yet? franchise count more on the shit side.
