Degrassi: The Next Generation headliner Miriam McDonald takes the lead for this installment of the Poison Ivy series concerning a college freshman who joins a secret society of ambitious, ruthless temptresses. Danielle "Daisy" Brooks hasn't even been at Berkshire college for a week, and she's already making a big impression; not only has the dean's son taken notice of the beautiful college freshman, but she's also managed to land a lucrative scholarship in addition to receiving an invitation to join an exclusive campus society known as The Ivies. At first the former country girl assumes that The Ivies are something akin to a sorority, though it isn't long before she starts to get wind of their true nature. The Ivies are a power-hungry group of sirens who aren't above using blackmail and seduction to get what they want - and they aren't above turning on one of their own. Once you've joined their ranks, getting out of The Ivies can really be murder. Daisy thought she was coming to college to learn, and her first lesson is a crash course in survival that few who came before have managed to pass. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

This earnest, intelligent, and well-written romantic comedy is enjoyable and optimistic in classic Hollywood style, even if its idealism doesn't seem quite so credible against the cynical political backdrop of the Nineties. President Andrew Shepherd (Michael Douglas), an unabashedly liberal Democrat, is just gearing up for re-election when he meets an attractive and sharp environmental lobbyist named Sydney Wade (Annette Bening). The two fall in love and the President must soon deal with the political repercussions (Sydney is trying to get legislation through Congress), as well as the cynical machinations of Republican opponent Senator Bob Rumson (Richard Dreyfuss), who attempts to paint Sydney as a radical and use "family values" rhetoric to smear Shepherd. With the attacks affecting his standings in the all-important polls, and his love's legislation causing him headaches in the Capitol, Shepherd must decide whether he can risk continuing his relationship. A rich supporting cast, solid characterizations by Douglas and Bening, and an articulate approach make this an appealing, if not particularly weighty, study of the tensions between public and private life. ~ Don Kaye, All Movie Guide

A successful retired jock and his geeky younger brother play out their sibling rivalry by coaching rival little league football teams in this family comedy. Ed O'Neill plays the older brother, Kevin O'Shea, a former Heisman Trophy winner whose gridiron exploits have made him a local hero in his small Illinois hometown. Kevin is the almost unanimous choice to head up the town's Pop Warner football team, and he happily builds an imposing team from the best local players. One of the few objectors is Kevin's young brother Danny (Rick Moranis), an awkward, bespectacled gas station owner who empathizes with the kids rejected from the team, including his own athletic daughter Becky (Shawna Waldron). As revenge, Danny starts his own competing team of misfits, taking on the coaching duties himself. Naturally, despite the total ineptitude of Danny and his players, they eventually find themselves major underdogs in a climactic battle against Kevin's well-trained juggernaut. Director Duwayne Dunham and a team of four screenwriters hit all the expected sports film conventions, throwing in a few innocent romantic subplots and cameos by real football players for good measure. ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide
