... View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
... View MoreIt is believed that replicating the action and thrill of any sport on the big screen is a very difficult task. Over the years, many movies have tried to do just that. But, they always had quite a few shortcomings. 'A Perfect Game', 'Goon' and 'Hoosiers' are very good examples of this phenomenon. So, it was really refreshing to see a sports movie that actually delivers what people expect from it.GOAL! THE DREAM BEGINS is a sports drama about an underprivileged young man chasing his dream. Santiago is born with a love of football (Soccer, for all my North American readers). As a Mexican immigrant living in Los Angeles, Santiago was destined to follow his father's path to work at menial jobs to earn money to support his family. All this changes, when a scout gives him chance to showcase his footballing talents in England, against his father's wish. Santiago gets to England and goes through a series of ups and downs to achieve his dream of playing professional football.GOAL! is a delightful and morally uplifting movie. For a football fan this movie is a must watch. There are a couple of very famous football players who make cameo appearances in the movie. Even though this movie is a little slow at times, the positive elements by far outnumber the negative ones.To sum it up, GOAL! is very engaging. Viewers can easily identify with the plight of all the characters.

... View MoreA classic tale of rags to riches, this film is one of the most uplifting and inspirational pieces of cinema I have seen in a long time. A breath of fresh air to a somewhat clogged genre of sport films. The basic plot outline is of a young Mexican, Santiago Munez, who, with his family, crosses the boarder into America to pursue the classic "American dream". After getting noticed by an ex football talent scout, Glen Foye, played by the superb Stephen Dillane, he makes his way to England to trail for Newcastle United. With many humps and bumps along the way, this fairytale story eventually climaxes with Santiago gaining his place on the Newcastle United senior team. This heartwarming tale has it all, happiness, sadness, romance and some terrific "one-liners". The quality of football acting is also flawless and aided by the appearance of professional footballers such as Alan Shearer who really know how to use the leg weight machines in a gym. I would definitely give this film four yes's and recommend it to all cinema lovers - "he saw me play, he saw me play!"
... View MoreThe best thing with goal is that it keeps you interested threw the whole movie. You don't even need to like football (soccer) to like this movie. It gave me the shivers a couple of times and gave a big smile on my face. It just gives those moments, which are the best in football. It shows pretty good the journey you go threw to become an professional footballer. And the movie shows real professionals such as Steven Gerrard, David Beckham, Raúl, Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard and many more. So if you're interested in football, you are going to love this movie! The movie gets 9/10 out of all the movies i have seen, but if I only think of drama, it gets a full 10.
