What is this movie with a group of kids and a paper route?

I remember watching a movie a few times about a group of kids with a paper route. The main kid is a teenager that just moved to the area.

The main scene I remember is the main kid trying to deliver a paper to an old war vet and having to use some strategy tactics to deliver it and "win" the old man's war, gaining him respect.

I remember seeing the movie somewhere between mid 90's to early 00's. Does anyone recognize this movie?
