The movie stars Marsai Martin (who is also producing the movie), Kelly Rowland, Omari Hardwick and Rome Flynn. The hilarious, heartwarming, father-daughter sports fantasy film centers around Callie Coleman (played by Martin) and her father Bobby (played by Hardwick), who stars as a running back for the Atlanta Falcons. Things take an interesting turn when Callie discovers she can magically control her father’s performance on the football field. How does she come across this power? Callie plays as her dad in EA SPORTS Madden NFL 23, and Bobby is transformed from having a bad case of fumblitis, to a star running back destined for superstardom. A lot of pressure for a young girl, right? It becomes an even more tense situation because Callie just made a commitment to her friends on the robotics team, causing pressure to mount because it’s also NFL playoff time. How will she balance her new-found magic and her other commitments? We will just have to wait and see. Ultimately, they rediscover what it really means to be a family.
