Bought this movie purely because the box had a picture of my team on it. Didn't know what to expect, hadn't heard anything about it. It's a simple movie and a story that has been told in many other forms, but it captures the passion of football in the UK and that's what makes it special. The cinematography captures the game beautifully and the storyline is blended in well with real game footage. I watch frequently, almost as much as Top Gear.

I love this film and recommend it, but this copy is edited and dubbed for explicit language which impacts your immersion in the film. If you hadn't seen this film before, then you might not notice them, but the dubs are sometimes bad. I wish I would have known the copy I was buying was edited. Still a great film.

Awesome movie! His moves are SICK! To all soccer players/fans. That's how you dribble a ball.
