Hello there, and welcome to a movie review article on the latest comedy series I am watching. It is Ted Lasso, and it has more comedy than anyone would expect. It all started off as a means to sit back and relax while keeping my mind distracted from thinking about other things. Now it has turned into something I am glad I decided to watch. It is all about an American Football coach called Ted Lasso, who is given the job to coach a Premier League club in London. Given the distance and how different America is from London, and not to mention the differences between American football and soccer, Ted Lasso still takes up the challenge. Jason Sudeikis is the man playing this character called Ted Lasso.
He comes into the club with all his strong will and relentless belief that things will work out for him due to his optimism. I have to admit that Ted Lasso's energy is truly contagious, right from how he interacts with the players and people, with warmth and interest. This makes him a man who has become difficult to root against. The genesis of his hire is on the basis that he will fail catastrophically, since he has zero experience in coaching a Premier League team. It was a reason out of spite from the owner of the club against her ex-husband. It becomes amusing how Ted Lasso comes in and starts making some changes by uplifting the spirit of the team through his belief mindset.
What started as a simple sports comedy gradually develops into the growth of its characters in different ways, as they begin to work on their flaws towards being better people. You get starstruck by the characters and how funny they can be. It does not matter who the character is, but their perception is strongly admirable. The way they act and what makes them special. In no time, you will find yourself rooting for the club, AFC Richmond. Just like that, you are now a part of something big.
More characters in the series will constantly keep you glued to your screen, but the best part is how they grow as individuals. There is Miss Welton, the owner of the club, who was rooting for the club's failure in the league, down to Roy Kent, the angry Captain turned mentor, who is just a big baby underneath the angry personality. Nobody has anything figured out as they all scale through their challenges and individual differences.
A shock for me was how the movie got emotional as well, when I was expecting it to be all comedy with laughs and more laughs. I felt emotional when things began to get serious because I was not expecting that right away. You get to see that underneath these funny characters and their acting, they are also people who are trying to deal with life as well, and it is so relatable, no matter who you are.
Within the underlying comedy and emotions, there are vital lessons that can be learned from the movie, and that is to believe and support. This is one thing I actually noticed was predominant. There is a need for a support system for these characters as they go through things and face challenges. It is not all comedy but motivational as well.
