The film, which is based on a true story, sounds like it may be a tearjerker, featuring a wonderfully scrawny team of orphans on a quest to win the state championship.
Directed by Ty Roberts, 12 Mighty Orphans takes place during the Great Depression, with the underdog team as a parallel to the broken nation.
It also stars Emilio Estevez, who is Martin Sheen’s son, so, uh, close, but no cigar.
