Nate W It was a very inspirational film the lead was very entertaining to watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I guess you could say I had high expectations for this movie, and it exceeded all of them! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member It was a nice movie about redemption. As the mom of soccer players, it is nice to see your child achieve his goals and dreams. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought the movie was great. Very touching and believable. I would definitely recommend it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A well written and directed movie about a son seeking acceptance from a father with whom he had a conflicted relationship. The soccer theme was the nexus of both the problem and resolution. Well Done family movie with a couple of slang moments but overall a positive uplifting story of a not so unusual family drama. The background music and especially the theme song were excellent and supported the movie line. Will see it again to catch more of the subtle points. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic movie start to finish. Highly recommend!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
