Like any great subculture documentary, Foosballers is at its best while opening a window into the passion, dedication, and personal stories of its subjects.

For a tiny percentage of talented and dedicated enthusiasts, foosball became something much more than a biographical footnote. They are "Foosballers," and this is their story, and it's pretty cool.

Rated: 3/4

The Film Stage

It would have been easier to put together a pure biography of the sport, but you'd lose the excitement and enthusiasm these current masters all bring.

This documentary focus on some of the best Foosballplayers in the world. They tell they're stories, show of skills and routines while they all are preparing for the World Championship. Interesting film about a small, but still big matter. It's fun and weird, serious but still playful. Not as good as "King of Kong" but up there with the Tetris documentary and a few other game docus I have seen. 6.5 out of 10 grip straps.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

A rare documentary about foosball and the corresponding lifestyle and passion. Thanks goes to the moviemakers for making it in such an interesting way, perhaps even for non-foosballers.

Terrific flick. I imagine the world outside of the quirky group that passionately love Foosball will find this movie light-hearted and funny. As someone a little closer to the group who knew their names before the film, I think it did well poking fun at the absurdity of the mix of characters that make up this world without crossing any lines. I always wondered how many professional players in other sports would stay with their game if there was no money in it. This film explores six of the "worlds greatest" at a sport so many have played, and yet (almost) no one can make a living doing, regardless of how good they are.
