In this brilliant, laugh-out-loud satire, image-conscious
parents on a Beverly Hills junior soccer team struggle to
keep up appearances as their private lives careen out
of control. Coach Randy is working mightily to keep it together, and not
simply with his vaguely unhappy wife, distant child, and a
new boss who's eliminating half the sales force. This
season's soccer parents are a demanding bunch. Diane's
wine-fueled group e-mails are almost unintelligible; team
mom Jacqui's enthusiasm for the league verges on manic; a
divorced couple can barely conceal their murderous rage at
each other; and another mom is laser-focused on schooling
everyone on what constitutes a healthy snack option. All the secrets and lies bubbling below the surface of their
membrane-thin civility threaten to combust when Alejandro, a
young, foreign assistant coach refuses to play by the
Beverly Hills code, which is to mind your own business and
don't look too deeply into anyone's soul. Especially your own. Brett Paesel brings hilarity and huge heart to a world that
looks enviable and shiny on the outside but is, in truth,
filled with aching for connection on the inside. In the vein
of Perotta and Semple, everyday life in Paesel's deft
rendering is anything but.
