I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Memorable, crazy movie

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

When I watched the film for the first ever time I was quite frankly scared. This was because of the fact I knew exactly what was going to happen. Its not that the film gives too much away, it's more the fact that the film is so poorly scripted and is so obvious. Even with such a bad storyline I am sure that it could have been a better film.Overall the acting was not too bad but the rest of the film was awful. The reason I say this is that some of the aspects of the film were totally unrealistic, and to say that the film is about football it appears that no one on the production team had ever seen it before.Some good points to take from the film are the performances of Robert Carlyle and Ben Miller.My advice, don't watch the film, ever.

Am a 13 yr old boy in NZ. I own the DVD and have watched it 20-30 times. I give this movie 10/10 because it makes me feel very inspired, and living in a country that is rugby mad, we need all the inspiration we can get!!! When I am on the soccer field, sometimes I pretend I am Jimmy, and it always helps my soccer skills. That is reason enough to give it a ten. It is well acted and realistic. I find this movie to be very uplifting, and will probably watch it another 20-30 times!! Robert Carlysle is a brilliant actor and is always a pleasure to watch. More movies need to be made like this one. I don't really know what else to say... I just really love it and always will, and when I have kids, I will sit them down and watch it with them. Awesome, gritty, realistic story.

Light entertainment. It's a nice change from the car chases and guns we see too much of. Story of a boy who wants to be a soccer star. Nice boy, bullies, nice soccer action. Simple, but entertaining.Sports scenes are well done. Story is a bit simplistic, but that's okay.

As a red from Manchester myself, I knew from the trailer that I was on a hiding to nothing with this film. I thought the hatred Jimmy received early on was a little OTT, although it only helps the plot of the film. How I had never heard of this film until this week is beyond me. If you enjoyed Billy Elliott then you must love this. There is only one word to describe this film - CHAMPION.
