New Film Classification

I watched 'The Fighting Temptations' last night.
I love those films where there is a team or a choir or something, and the team is always rubbish at the beginning of the film. Then a new leader comes along (they go to a new school, move towns or something) , who invariably is totally uninterested in the group, or is only involved for selfish reasons (money or to impress someone). Then they have a change of heart and manage to bring the group together, with the help of some misfits and a quiet character blossoming, til the team come first in the Nationals.
They are great. I get so sucked into them and i like the formula. But shouldn't there be a different classification for them? They aren't really purely 'rom-com', and they aren't serious 'dramas'. What could their classification be? Team-com? Teamie? Groupie? There should be a new one though, so there can be a whole entire section of Blockbusters devoted to them.

If it sounds like i am being too specific, look at this extensive list of examples:

-Sister Act
-Sister Act II
-Bring It On
-Bring It On Again
-Drumline
-The Fighting Temptations
-The Replacements
-Kicking and Screaming

Ummm... hello???

You left out The Bad News Bears! I think that film invented the genre!

Damnit! I'm always trying to correct your stuff. It's a compulsion. I need to start my own blog and STFU, dontcha think?
