Wow, that was awful

Rating: 1/10 (16 February 2007)

This was an embarrassing movie. I wasn't even involved in the production in any way and I still fired my agent. This movie was not about hooligans, football or anything interesting of this world. 30 minutes into the film, you'll find yourself expecting a romantic struggle between Wood and any one of the many UK boys he's so starry-eyed with. There are far too many silly coincidences and convenient occurrences to even mention. The movie doesn't show nearly enough of the football culture in England. It glances over a few rivalries. It doesn't touch upon the policing of the hooligans or the consequences of the boys getting caught/arrested. It just seems like a fun sport with little or no risk. The film is extremely shallow and doesn't shed light on the political struggle that may be taking place. I mean, who cares about a journalist? Please explain how a beat writer could take down the reputation of a group of drunk football fans? This is laughable.
