Truly terrible film with most the actors posting it in and McCutcheon not even managing that. Inauthentic and hammy, he manages to be in the cubs at 15 (!), be going out with a girl getting University offers (so should be 17/18 which she isnt), who has to pay for university (full grants for tuition and living expenses in 69/70. Why do these formulaic hammy kinds of Brit "sports based"/underdog "comedies" keep getting funding despite repeatedly bombing at the box office?

Between 2 and 2.5 stars. Most of the time, you don't see the point of the obsession of a guy which does not offer much maturity as the movie evolves.

B movie with a heart. Worth the time investment for an interesting view into the lives of ordinary people centered on a hometown soccer team.

Variety

There's a sweet message at the heart of "The Bromley Boys" about finding the heroism in mediocrity, though it's one not best served by the film being entirely mediocre itself.

Times (UK)

It's very light and all a bit TV, with a seemingly interminable second act. Yet the characters are so affectionately drawn and so sweetly played that you forgive the conspicuous lapses.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

The Bromley Boys offers a feel-good movie that acts as a love letter to Bromley FC and football in general.

Film Inquiry

Even with these flaws, The Bromley Boys is entirely pleasant to watch; it just never rises above mere pleasantness to be truly compelling.
