Movie Review

WILDCATS

By Nathan Stairs

Plain and simple, the Wildcats are blah. Goldie Hawn has seen better days, I can’t remember too many of them, but this film cer- tainly cannot be counted as one of her goodies.

Goldie Hawn plays ‘Coach’ MacGregor, the average divorced housewife whose dream is to coach a football team. She is given

‘February 27, 1986

the chance to fulfill her dream when she takes over the Central High School Football team. This

team looks amazingly like the Chicago Bears. They have the cool air-headed star quarterback, the tough rap singers, and a refri-

gerator, make that a freezer. The setting is in Chicago, the team wears uniforms which are similiar to the Bears’ and also have exactly the same record. (If I spoiled the

plot, it was no accident.)

The movie lacks in many ways. The film has no appeal, there is no theme. It is the type of show

that you will forget whether or not you actually saw it. There were a few chuckles but it couldn't

be rated as a comedy. Goldie Hawn and her Wildcats get a five. A note of interest is that Goldie

Hawn’s husband, Kurt Russell, was the co-star of another football movie, The Best of Times, which

came out a month ago. Sounds like there's a plot here, I know this movie could have used one.

LETTERS

Speakeasy Dear Editor,

Stuttering is a speech handicap that affects about 1% of the population, with males three times more likely to be a stutter than females.

While in spite of extensive re- search, no. definite cause, and therefore no cure, has been dis- covered, some hospitals and speech clinics do offer speech therapy which helps to alleviate this frustrating impediment.

There is now a charitable non- profit Canadian organization for Stutters and anyone else inte- rested in the problem. This group, ‘Speakeasy’, was formed so that

Stutters would have a nation-wide network for mutual assistance and

communication.

For more information about . this self-help group, please write
