SOME SPOILERS! This movie is about learning to understand--even accept--other peoples' point of view and working together for a common cause regardless of any remaining differences. As the movie progresses different examples of how to do this are shown, such as Alex going to a party by Todd's friends that he wouldn't normally attend, accompanying Todd to get decorations for the bowling hall, and getting a truce between his team members and Todd for the remaining days until the contest. Todd rallies his friends to revive the bowling hall. Alex and his friends learn to have a positive, winning attitude, and Todd learns about style and playing for fun without the pressure to win at all costs, and yielding to a better performer when it counts. One great example that might get overlooked occurs about twenty minutes from the beginning: in the bowling hall Todd mentions the rumour that Alex got his clothes in the alley behind the hall. Instead of getting mad, Alex handles this with humor, poking even more fun at himself, saying he got them from a <catalog> he found in the alley, and Todd's "Whatever..." shows he gets the humor, and the confrontation is defused, rather than escalating. Reality check: it's true that this only works if the accuser accepts the humor, but when it works you can feel the reduction in tension. As Dexter says in "The Cure" (ties for #1 with "On Golden Pond" in my list), "It's worth a try."

This is a really great story about a towns teen sport jock who gets involuntarily teamed up with local bowling square pegs.A long running tradition between two rival towns is about to be retired and it is up to this odd bunch to take home the prize. With no time to spare Todd McLemore, town jock and son of the mayor, must learn how to bowl. But he has a thing or two to teach the group of overly confident teen bowlers.Alex Thompson, leader of the brat, learns that change can be a good thing. Between Todd and Alex they come up with an idea to save the unpopular bowling alley. A great story of team building and friendship. Definitely a must see!

This movie was really good. I especially liked the fact that there was so much team effort and spirit in the movie. That gives people a good idea as to how one should play on a team with people they don't know very well. It was pretty funny too!

The movie the Alley Cats Strike, is a made for t.v. movie on the Disney channel. Now, some of you may be saying why is a 16 yr old girl watching things on the Disney channel. Besides the reason that I'm a kid at heart I honestly think they have good entertainment for the young and old. This movie starts off about these retro teens and there love for bowling, and leads into having them plus the "golden child" of there town defending the "Mighty Apple" trophy from there arch rivals. It's such a cute movie and a great cast, I really loved it and I recommend this to anyone that loves good movies!
