    Una especie de versión pambolera de Sueños de un Seductor (Ross, 1972). El fracasado cartero Eric Bishop (Steve Evets) se imagina la presencia contantes del centro-delantero del Manchester United Eric Cantona (lui-même, como dicen los créditos finales), quien funge como su consejero/entrenador físico/existencial.

    To keep both sports fans and cinema lovers interested during a sports drama film can't be easy but this is well achieved by director Ken Loach in this poignant and interesting British realism film.

    Veteran British director Ken Loach fields one of his most accessible and lightly-toned offerings to date with this comedy about a football fanatic trying to sort out his life.

    Play It Again, Eric... Ken Loach perfectly captures the feeling of football and the need for hope. Touching and hilarious - a blinder.

    The British director Ken Loach can be a master of working-class realism, but not in this cranky, rudderless shambles.
