That might make it sound like Home Team is your typical inspirational sports drama, but not to worry: there’s more than plenty projectile vomit and crass humor to go around. With his son’s football team in desperate need of some coaching, Payton steps up to lead them to newfound heights of success and self-esteem. Suspended from coaching two years after his Super Bowl win, Payton returns to his hometown in effort to reconnect with his 12 year old son. Loosely inspired by Sean Payton’s 2010 autobiography, the 2022 sports comedy Home Team stars Kevin James as the renowned NFL coach who led the New Orleans Saints to their Super Bowl victory.

PicturesĮighteen years after the conclusion of the Matrix trilogy comes The Matrix Resurrections, a post-cyberpunk love story heist movie epilogue from series creator Lana Wachowski featuring returning stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss.
