Audience Member U almost feel embarrassed and surprised that you actually like this movie but it definitely has its charm. It's a little over the top and a lot of silliness but it all somehow adds to the movies charm. Real cute feel good movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Gay vs Straight football team, who will win? Surprisingly I found this show to be hilarious despite how cheap the movie feels. Almost every character was crazy funny and the thick British accent of all the characters just made them pure comedy to listen to. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member The best gay/straight movie with such complicated plot that it's amazing to watch. I was laughing out loud several times. A bit, convoluted, that's where it shines fitting together a band of players on and off the field. The language is very much British Slang but as long as you give in and laugh at how exaggerated and crazy the game it you'll have a blast. It's like a modern Interpersonal Relationship movie about a group of gay guys and a group of straight guys and the things they have in common and the things they don't have in common. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Saw this at Scottsdale International Film Festival 2010. A mediocre drama with an equal blend of humor, conflict, and ultimately, tragedy. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Enough eye candy to tolerate an otherwise pointless movie, Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Saw this at Scottsdale International Film Festival 2010.
