Movie #1891 "Troop Zero" - can be streamed on amazon prime --- We really enjoyed watching this movie the other night -- you might want to put subtitles on because they talk fast and with thick Georgian accents --- and they use regional dialect and idioms. Most of the kids are very unkind verbally to each other and that's why I suggested middle school and older (in fact, there's a character named "hell, no" ). There are "mean girls" even at a young age in here that make fun of the lead troop --- Allison Janney is the snotty principal and Viola Davis's character....well, you have to see it to believe it. Let's just say, she adds another dimension to the melting pot of zany characters here (well, Gaffigan is the dad). But in all its zaniest, it handles the grief well, while covering commitment, friendship, priorities in life and winning isn't everything . And it will have you cheering at the end, and wiping a tear in the finale. And you may be tapping your toes and singing along to the music --- esp. David Bowie's star songs. 4.5 out of 5 (I am a sucker for underdog films! esp. with this little star actress(McKenna Grace) whom I have been a fan of since "Gifted" (see her in "Young Sheldon," occasionally, too)

"TROOP ZERO" IMDB says it is PG, but I would say middle school up 2019 1 hr 34 mins

When a national competition offers her a chance at her dream, to be recorded on NASA’s Golden Record , she recruits a makeshift troop of Birdie Scouts, forging friendships that last a lifetime and beyond.
Troop Zero is a 2019 American comedy-drama film, directed by Bert & Bertie, from a screenplay by Beasts of the Southern Wild co-writer Lucy Alibar and inspired by Alibar's 2010 play Christmas and Jubilee Behold The Meteor Shower.

Actors: McKenna Grace, Allison Janey, Viola Davis, Jim Gaffigan
An endearingly-gifted young leading lady, sparkling supporting performances, and a devilishly irreverent take on the underdog story make this period movie funny, surprising, and notably current.
