A handful of men begin behaving like children when their kids enter a Boy Scout competition in this
family-friendly
comedy. Ever since he was in fifth grade,
Phil Davis (
Greg Germann) has been coming in second place to
Ace Montana (
Marc Raymond) whenever they've been in some sort of competition together, and now that
Phil and
Ace are both middle-aged fathers, history seems to repeat itself when
Brady (
Adam Hicks),
Phil's son, loses the city junior basketball championship to a team featuring
Ace's boy. When
Phil learns that
Brady will be going up against
Ace's son again in his Boy Scout troop's annual Pinewood Derby race,
Phil decides it time to end the Davis family's losing ways once and for all, and with help from his childhood friends
Blaine (
Ross Brockley) and
Jimmy (
Perry Anzilotti),
Phil sets out to build the perfect Pinewood derby car -- whether or not that's what
Brady has in mind. Produced with the cooperation of the Boy Scouts of America,
Down and Derby also stars
Lauren Holly,
Pat Morita, and
Hunter Tylo.
