Icelandic soccer star Ottar Thor (Björn Hlynur Haraldsson) admits in a national magazine that he is gay. His teammates boot him out of the league in an unexpected backlash, so he joins a friend's amateur team. Soon, other gay players flock to the team, and as straight members flee, the team soars in status. The amateurs get a chance to show their mettle when they face the pros in a match on Gay Pride Day.

[Eleven Men Out] thoughtful and funny characters, something that should give this droll drama appeal beyond a niche gay audience.

Slant Magazine

There's at least a half dozen movies fighting for attention here, none of them particularly appealing.

Rated: 2/4

Variety

A non-pandering crowd-pleaser whose character quirks and small stabs at poignancy feel refreshingly earned.

A too-thin dramedy with good intentions but poor results.

If you detect anything fresh or original in terms of character or story development, you're probably not watching this movie.

Eleven Men Out is tedious to watch due to its mostly unlikeable characters and very little story to tell with a monotonous outcome

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Wow! what a rollercoaster of probable thrills in this quite possibly good/shit sports themed piece of cinematography. Sweaty jocks with sweaty jocks and balls galore.. Hurrraaaaahhh!!!! it would probably have reminded me of my dear friend Bunty D'amore and his arse loving chums from the Winchester Club if I'd bothered to watch it. Truly awful 2.2 /00000.13 and a dirty great thumbs down from me folks.

Much wasted potential. Expediency of plot does not mean character or subtleties should be sacrificed just because you have a topical storyline.

Ugh I really wanted to like this movie but the plot line really goes nowhere. Other than the hot main character coming out, nothing else happens.

Great concept for a movie. If you like this theme, watch Guys and Balls, it's a better version of this theme, though still not top notch. Not much to say about this movie, kinda drab, ground breaking at the time but boring in plot, story and acting.
