What a beautiful movie!

terrible... so disappointed.

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

12.7/10 unreal experience. Emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. Related with all of the characters on a personal level. My one trivial concern, is the age appropriateness of the film. As it was rated universal, but I found it sexually disturbing and had strong undercurrents of favouring drug use.In my honest opinion, it perfectly encapsulates the pure joy of table football. Papa bless

A father tells the story of how one small town's survival hinged on a football match and some table-football players.It's a competent CGI animated film by Juan José Campanella which like the Monster in Paris and Book of the Dead has an off beat non mainstream European/Latino feel. The dubbing issues of the U.K version aside (clearly it's not animated to the UK actors voices) it is a fun tale about football and friendship rather than winning; as the toys help their beloved owner tackle his childhood bully (now a rich footballer) who wants to by his town and win the heart of the town sweetheart.With a slow opening it soon picks up speed when the little table-football players magically come to life, it pokes fun at football players in general, some jokes may go over the children's heads and it's a little creepy in places with screaming rats in a dump and a wacky clown. The stereotype toy lead players go from one set up to the next to save a friend and regroup, to the final showdown football match to the beat of Emilio Kauderer's music. Some gags hit the mark, some fall flat, but the underdog tale is entertaining enough as the locals come together to taken on a professional team.This maybe the best computer animated table-football film out there, but it's also probably the only one.

I really found it disappointing, full of identical clichés to dozens of Hollywood films for children. There are very few things that identify the film with Argentina, the bar is where the foosball is, the Buenos Aires voices they almost seem overdone, the rest is extracted from any animated movie viewed before. The conflict of the weak child receiving bullying by the group of "bad guys" is of the most hackneyed in Hollywood. His relationship with his girlfriend, how the bad guy becomes a villain, how everything is defined and solved in a football game. All this leaves the impression that he defined the script took all the stereotypes of Pixar and Dreamworks movies and threw it on the table and used quite bad indeed.The fact that the original story is Roberto Fontanarrosa and adaptation of Eduardo Sacheri is an unusual fact, considering the talents of both. If Fontanarrosa was alive, he would be seriously disappointed.Both mistake then, is only attributable to Campanella not know what to do with the story and transformed it into a trite, predictable script without lights.

It was needed a team of Argentinians and Spaniards to make an animation movie whose theme is football (soccer), their favourite game. And at right moment they did it because this movie is rather good in all aspects to begin with the story itself, a fight between force and justice. It has managed to give life in an excellent way to a group of those puppets of table football which are very common at public places where soccer is popular. The facial features and moves of all characters are very expressive and meaningful in terms of emotions and sentiments. Of course this is more a movie to be seen by adults than by children since is more dramatic than funny though not particularly heavy. It's the story of a bully who uses his force to humiliate the hero by all means because the latter once won a table football match to him and he wants the former's gf too. A goody movie pleasant to watch for the story and the lively images and scenes. And the sound track is unusually good with classical music by Richard Strauss and Richard Wagner among others.
