Gridiron Gang - Visitor's Day | I Just Want My Mom To Love Me

After Kenny Bates (Trever O’Brien), one of the inmates at LA’s Camp Kilpatrick juvenile detention center, has an upsetting visit with his mother and is sitting on his own, distressed, Sean Porter (Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson) – who is not employed as a football coach (but is putting a team together) – seeks him out. “What’s going on, buddy?” “It’s my mom. Things are just so messed up. It gets so I just hate her.” “No you don’t.” “I just want my mom to love me, you know?” “I know. I know. Know what I was thinking? How about we try you out at receiver?” “Good. You mean like I’d be catching the ball?” “Sometimes. Mostly blocking.” “That’d be cool.” Kenny is just one of many boys at Camp Kilpatrick who have made poor choices. But nothing seems to be having an effect on them, and Porter, a former football player who could never win his father’s approval and whose mother is dying, has the idea to establish a football team – the Mustangs – to compete against outside teams. The suggestion is met with the obligatory resistance and scepticism, but soon takes off. The boys struggle with the discipline and Porter struggles even more to not become his hyper-critical father. #dwaynejohnson #therock #gridirongang
