This movie was on TV last night and I was bored so I watched it. For the most part anyway, in between I did the dishes, cleaned up my apartment… Nope, not the type of movie to keep me glued to my seat. Recently I saw Invictus, also a movie in the sports genre, but the two just don’t compare. Bad acting, horribly predictable and also I didn’t like the way the football scenes were shot, they didn’t build the tension and draw me in.

alessandro nivola and alan shearer and a good soundtrack.

This was totally dopey and predictable, but adorable. So just what most people like in a sports movie. Allegedly, this is the first of a trilogy (hence the stupid title).
