Sexy Colin Firth. Football. What more could you want?

This is the kind of movie that my Mother would have summed as "a cute show." Not high praise but indicative of its entertainment value, even while acknowledging its faults. The latter include sketch comedy acting, mediocre writing and directing that makes many scenes far too long. Nonetheless, Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore are wonderful together and seem to be having a good time, despite it all. And that is enough to make the whole thing, well, cute.
Antonio C. gave it a 10:
I love Arsenal and I can't do another thing except to...Love this movie! Every time I see that goal from Micheal Thomas, I stand up and start to exult as Paul and Steve!
Andy J. gave it an 8:
If you love football, you'll love it. The book is better, but it's a hard one to adapt for the screen. It's in my top ten movies of all time.

Americans do understand, at least this baseball obsessed fan does. This is just a great movie, and I think the critics who don't get it have probably never once in their lives screamed at a sporting event or endured an impossible relationship. Great acting, wonderful script, even a terrific soundtrack. This film's a winner, and should have been released to a wider audience in the U.S. Funny to see that the two most sports oriented NYC dailies gave it glowing reviews.
Daniel G. gave it a 10:
Itīs simply the BEST movie ever made about being a football fan. Americans wonīt understand.
