Summary
RATING: R for strong sexual content, graphic nudity and language
Starring Bjorn Hlynur Haraldsson, Lilja Nott Porarinsdottir, Arnaldur Ernst, Helgi Bjornsson, and Porsteinn Backmann
Óttar Thor is a champion soccer star, handsome and arrogant, who after winning a game casually tells a journalist he's gay. Imagine the surprise to his wife, a former Miss Iceland; his teenage son, already sullen and troubled; and his father, Thor's macho coach. A breezy and feisty dramatic comedy directed by Róbert I. Douglas, this is a story about a man who, much to the chagrin of his family, exchanges one sort of domesticity for another. After choosing a same-sex partner, he is kicked off the championship team, in which players are presumably straight. But once a player, always a player, and Óttar is offered a spot on a team in a basement soccer league that gay sportsmen from all over Iceland soon insist on joining. The ensemble cast is pitch-perfect, as is the tone in this lively account of the surprising accommodations people are capable of making. (Regent Releasing)

The Hollywood Reporter Richard James Havis
Has thoughtful and funny characters, something that should give this droll drama appeal beyond a niche gay audience.
Read Full Review >Variety Dennis Harvey
A non-pandering crowd-pleaser whose character quirks and small stabs at poignancy feel refreshingly earned.

Steven H. gave it a3:
Very low budget, amateur acting, a story that's been done several times, and much better, in other European films recently - a big disappointment for me.
