different for a football movie

Rating: 8/10 (12 December 2005)

This movie was a surprise to me. I was expecting another football comedy, with a few funny gags, but i was mistaken.
Its actually surprisingly serious, sure it has its really funny moments, but i also noticed a lot of drama and sensitivity during the film, and i'm pretty sure thats a good thing. It gave the movie more appeal, to have the characters actually have emotions and goals, unlike most sport/comedy flicks.
And also, the game play is presented brilliantly, with matrix style slow motion shots and really cool stunts, it gave the game a totally different outlook.
And of course the movie is still a comedy, and it was funny.
I recommend it to all sports movie fans and anyone who feels like watching something different than your typical football/comedy. 8/10
