Comment
Add a CommentMy son said that this was a more realistic movie than many others that have invaded the screens; however, he was not necessarily commenting about the soccer aspects, but the family situation and the defiance/rebellious stance of teenagers, and the lengths that they are willing to go to achieve their 'shock effect'. He is a teenager himself, must know what he's talking about.
This was an extremely good movie.
Predictable family fare about a teenage woman who aspires to play soccer against all odds. The film's assets include a cast of competent and very physically attractive young actors.
