  • Summary: World Cup fever has reached the Indian Himalayas in this comedy about the lighter side of life in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery. This touching story tackles the issues of winning and losing, life in exile and the impact of the modern world on a highly traditional lifestyle. (Palm Pictures)

  1. The first feature-length movie from Bhutan tells its lighthearted story through smart performances, appealing images, and unfailing good humor.
  2. A very funny movie, alive with a sense of absurdity and human foible.
  3. 80
    This sweet little movie is a mild comedy, a much calmer cousin to "Sister Act," with men in robes rather than women in habits.
  4. 60
    Though The Cup is lovely to look at, it has none of the ceremonial rigor mortis of Scorsese's "Kundun."
