TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
If there's a gay cliche who doesn't flounce through this feel-good German comedy, he must have been out of town when the casting call went out, but its fundamental good nature is tough to resist.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle G. Allen Johnson
It's surefire entertainment: loopy and predictable, but tremendously likable.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Melissa Levine
Both totally predictable and unerringly charming, with all of the quirky players, training montages, and father-son drama you'd expect.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Joshua Katzman
Following the same general blueprint as "The Bad News Bears" or "The Longest Yard," this engaging, well-paced German film directed by Sherry Horman includes a vibrantly funny script by Benedikt Gollhardt.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Adam Nayman
With its clean narrative lines, easily grasped message and literal kick-line of affable, non-threatening gay characters, the film is carefully calibrated for mass appeal. It leaves no shortcut or pratfall untaken, and it will be all the more popular for it.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
A wry, robust comedy of broad, sometimes crass humor set in the ultra-macho world of a small-town German soccer team.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis
The climactic game provides an opportunity for some of the most sustained - and literal - gay bashing in movie history, even if the outcome is no more surprising than that of any other underdog comedy.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck
Golhardt's screenplay has enough quirkily charming moments to compensate for its plethora of stereotypical characters and cliched situations, and director Sherry Hormann provides a light enough touch to make the proceedings palatable, if not quite enjoyable.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
There are moments of genuine emotion between the wacky tryouts and the nail-biter finale, and it seems churlish to complain. But there's little room for laziness around superior players like "Shaolin Soccer" and "Bend It Like Beckham."
Read Full Review >Variety Dennis Harvey
A by-the-numbers ensemble dramedy that hits every underdog and gay-fish-out-of-water cliche on the nose.
