Watch Trophy Kids For Free

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

A lot of fun.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Although I found the movie OK mainly due to the talented kids I found myself wanting to go to America to tell these parents that a child's life should be enjoyable not a constant conflict between themselves and parents . I found the American footballers father to be a horrendous person that I couldn't watch at certain points and the same can be said about the golf dad who at one point called his little girl a bitch. If you are a pushy parent this one is for you but if you love your child as a child it probably should be avoided. For some reason and I am not sure what reason I kept watching even though these parents were making my blood boil every time one of them opened there mouths. Every parent wants the best for there children and this documentary shows the most extreme side of that and it is very hard to watch at times. Overall I'm glad I watched as it has shown me the kind of parent I really do not want to become

'Trophy kids' was an up to snuff documentary reviewing the life of children and adolescents whose lives are being influenced by sport and their over-the-top-sport-parents. This is an unusual film. You wont get many like this. This movie is actually going into the lives of these kids and being told from their perspective, as well as a lot of it being told from the parents perspective. This documentary is unusual , not only because its talking about an unusual topic , but because it is actually going into the lives of the kids in great detail.It can also be a rather blue movie, since the parents are going over-the-top and sometimes being unfair with their kid. Its a good documentary , because its showing the audience more or less everything they want to know about their lives and not missing out anything. It is made really well , going from one kids life to another, and at the end finishing it off with a touching ending. There is a big message in this documentary(that is why it is a good movie to watch). When you watch it, you will have to figure out that message for yourself.

It was a great documentary, but very disturbing. I can only wonder where those kids are now. Even worse, I wonder how bad the parents even further damaged their kids.The is by far the worst bunch of egotistical parents. They try to live their dreams through their kids. The golfer's father is by far the worst. Tell me when the last time you were sponsored by McDonalds? Your daughter did that, not you. The sports are for the children to play not for you to drive your kids to hate the sports they play.. The kids do the work, not you. The coach is in charge of the team, not you. (no matter how good your kid is or how good you think he is) Stop living vicariously through your kid. Just because your dreams died doesn't mean you have to destroy your kids' dreams.

Seriously, it was getting uncomfortable to watch Golf Dad pouting all over the course after every single shot his daughter hit. that guy is a complete scumbag. Can't believe some of the things he calls his daughter.. "wait until you get in the car." You've gotta think their is some physical abuse going on at home too.. he even implied in that one scene when he's getting up from the golf cart that he wishes it was the 70s again where it was 'acceptable' to beat up your kids. Seriously felt like this guy is just banking on his daughter becoming a pro one day and he can mooch off her winnings the rest of his life. Hope that scumbag gets what he deserves. And what was with the basketball dads? How delusional could they be thinking their scrawny little barely 6 feet tall white kids have any chance of playing D1 basketball? Was hilarious to me when that Cal Poly all black team just came in and ran them out of the gym. It's one thing to be a nut case sports dad when your kid actually has a special talent, but these white kids are simply average players who have no chance at D1 basketball, let alone becoming a pro one day. Tennis Mom was creepy, though I found it interesting how she really didn't even pay much attention when her kids were playing tennis. Too busy babbling about Jesus to the director, numerous times where she all of a sudden says "oh that was match point!" like she was not paying attention to the score at all. Football dad was insane, that scene in the car with the kids mother driving didn't even seem real. His thought process is so warped it felt fake that he actually believes the stuff he says. Coach Meier was awesome though, loved everything he said. Spot on. Would recommend watching but prepare to be disgusted and angry at the end.
