The poster says it all: "The impossible dream". At best the movie has its moments, like in the beginning when he's struggling in the States and trying to get along with his father.
But when he's moving to England and getting it all in just a month... It's impossible! He has his...( read more)
Usually I hate sports movies, but this one was really good and I only fell asleep once because I was dead tired.
There's no real point in trying to have a cinephile conversation with me about Goal!, I loved it because I love football and once dreamed of becoming a professional footballer too. That's it. Anyone in my position will love the film too, and anyone else is free to trash it...( read more)
I REMEMBER HAVING TO WATCH THIS IN SPANISH CLASS IN HIGH SCHOOL, DECENT FLICK, BUT KIND OF BORING AT PARTS
i LUV soccer and movies about soccer lololol, not to mention it was a great movie
I thought it was pretty good that it was a FIFA promoted movie, so you had real teams, players, stadiums etc. The only pisser was that it's focused on an American/Mexican, I would have liked it to be showing the rise of an Englishman. The 2 sequels look good. Anna Friel is a fox ...( read more)
... it is good and caring work, with more human detail than we expect. full review
Predictable Goal! The Dream Begins may not be the stuff of everyone's reveries, but the film is capably acted and somewhat inspiring. full review
The pro-soccer circuit is convincingly portrayed, and at its best moments the dialogue is as bright as Newcastle's skies aren't. full review
Handsomely shot and with a likable lead in Kuno Becker, it also suffers from a script so outrageously generic you could buy it at Costco. full review
With any luck its sequels will fail to garner a stateside release due to that most dependable of domestic attitudes: American apathy toward soccer. full review
Last night I watched goal by name I thought it would be just sport movie but when movie starts ahead after that my eyes frozen on screen I wanted to go for piss but till end I controlled it because I didn’t want to lose any scene of the movie, in the movie there is emotional, excitement, love, relationship, hardship, commitment This is a really good movie to see. It shows how trying hard, and reaching for your dreams can pay off. if you set your mind to it, you can achieve your goals. On some movie scenes with tears rolling down my cheeks. The real meaning of movie is Goal. Don’t think about football just watch it. Give me your opinion about it. nbhatti3000@hotmail.com
