Bought this and a couple of others for my soccer-obsessed, 12-yo son. He's seen it about 12 times, since Christmas. Loves it!! We've watched it with him, a couple of times. I was surprisingly pleased at the story's holding my interest, the charm of the lead actor, and that it made watching a bit of soccer pretty exciting. Little corny, in places, but all in all, a nice film.
fantastic. I had to get the second one through a private party. It is only found in South America and Europe. I'm waiting for the third one to come out on video. If you like coming of age films and sports underdog success story, this is for you. I compare it to the Rookie and Invincible.
