When you're the city attorney you don't need the kinds of problems that her father was giving her. After her mother died, her father began doing his "Santa Schtick," as she called it, much more intensely... which meant that he turned his home into a kind of year-round Santa Claus castle where children of all ages could come to see the wonderful presents and no child ever left without a gift.

It is the 1950s. Mary and John are getting a divorce. If only Mary had tried harder to please her husband... if she had cared enough to do whatever necessary to lose those last 5 pounds, it's possible her marriage could have been saved. If only she had trusted in modern science... ladies - don't be a Mary. Watch this clever modern film, lose those last 5 pounds. Your marriage, and your country, are depending on you.

Based on a true story, this film tells the tale of the 1950 US soccer team who, against all odds, beat England 1 - 0 in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Although no US team has yet won a World Cup title, this story is about the family traditions and passions which shaped the lives of the players who made up this team of underdogs.
