Big Bully/YMMV

Cult Classic: Apparently. It flopped when it came out, critics panned it, and fans of Rick Moranis either Love It or Hate It. However, there are some people that actually like this movie.
Spiritual Successor: To Little Giants.
- What they have in common:
  - Both movies are from Warner Bros.
  - Moranis in the lead role
  - Begins with a flashback to his character as a kid
  - Said character to have wife leave him for unknown reasons and has a crush on a female childhood friend
- Differences:
  - It's not a sports movie
  - This movie was also distributed by Morgan Creek
  - David Leary is an only child and isn't exactly as optimistic as Danny O'Shea
  - David's wife didn't just leave him, but divorced him
The Woobie: David, especially with this line:

"But I'm the town hero..."
