Tomboy awesomeness right there. She’s super good at football, but her uncle Al Bundy won’t pick her for his fancypants Pop Warner team, the Cowboys, so she teams up with her dad Rick Moranis to start the Giants, a group of ragtag weirdos who manage to come together to defeat the Cowboys.Icebox is one of two actually good players; the other being ringer quarterback Devon Sawa (Junior? I think is his character name), and of course—of course!—Icebox starts getting a crush on Junior. But she, like all tomboyish girls in the movies, does not realize that Junior digs her just the way she is, a dirty, tough, football-playin’ girl.
Thus, Icebox thinks she needs to be more girly in order to get the boy to like her, and following the example of her cousins, she becomes a cheerleader just in time for the big Cowboys-Giants showdown, to the consternation of her entire team. And the entire viewing audience of tomboys. Or maybe just this adolescent tomboy. At any rate. Sigh.
I mean, she’s cute as a cheerleader, but she’s clearly better as a football player. Fortunately, she gets over it and dons her football gear in order to participate in the big game. Which, of course, the ragtag moppets win. Hooray!But I have this vague memory of her actually playing in her cheerleader skirt. Did that actually happen? I should watch the movie again. Cuz that’s insane.
As a postscript, let us see what has become of Icebox since her football playin’ days:
She got pretty hot, eh?
