Critic Reviews

Nick Barbaro

It's worth seeing the action scenes on the big screen, and to get in the mood for the World Cup opener later this month. Read full review

F. X. Feeney

Demonstrating yet again that he knows few limits as an actor, Duvall not only nails the accent, he inhabits the man's flinty, grudge-bearing contrariness with such a furious commitment that it brings out the best in the actors around him. Read full review

Evan Henerson

Registers as a more scenic "Hoosiers" with rowdier fans. Read full review

New Times (L.A.) Andy Klein

Solidly entertaining little film.

Derek Elley

Mediocre, dramatically flat picture. Read full review

Lawrence Toppman

For all the satisfying details in the script, the big picture remains hopelessly and intentionally trite. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

Not as distinctive or even as humorous as its needs to be to stand out, but it has clearly been made with affection and care. Read full review

Watching real soccer is more entertaining but the movie is not bad if predictable and not exciting.
