Troop Zero
A group of precocious young girls infiltrate the local Birdie Troops in this '70s-set indie dramedy starring Mckenna Grace (Gifted) and Viola Davis.
"Nine-year-old oddball Christmas Flint (Grace) is obsessed with space and making contact with the aliens of the universe. When she finds out the prize at the 1977 Birdie Jamboree is getting her voice on NASA's Golden Record, Christmas forms her own misfit Birdie troop. Nothing can prepare them for the painfully perfect world of the legit Birdies. But, led by their reluctant yet fearless troop mama (Viola Davis) and Christmas’s dad (Jim Gaffigan), they find glory in the most unexpected circumstances—much to the despair of the ever-judgmental school principal, Miss Massey (Allison Janney)."

Hollywood Reporter
Gaffigan and Janney offer just what their parts in the story need, but Davis keeps it all on the rails.

The film leans... heavily on saccharine moments that feel like a brute force way to your heart rather than earning an emotional reaction.
