Great feel good movie!

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2009)

This is one of my all time favorite movies. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, I loved every minute. It's full of fantastic soccer, wonderful patriotism, and a tender reminder of the horror of the Nazi regime. No matter how many times I see it, I want to stand and cheer at the ending. Yes, many might view it as over the top cheesy and not very realistic, but let's not forget it's fiction. If I wanted total believability I'd read a history book not watch a Stallone movie. I think he played the perfect irreverent American to the oh so proper Brits. It also contains a few sympathetic Germans of which I'm sure there were many in reality. Just sit back and enjoy the fun.
