The noggins of professional athletes Derek Jeter, Peyton Manning, Kevin Garnett, Dwyane Wade and Jennie Finch are attached to the bodies of a group of rambunctious kids at play. The result is a fun, lighthearted romp as the big-headed athletes with their little bodies and high-pitched voices are cute and endearing.
