    Harmless yet incredibly fun German comedy about a gay soccer team. Great for a fun dvd night with friends, and a cute romance is at the center, of course.

    Funny moments but it lacks something...
    maybe more action on soccer?

    Great concept for a movie, we need something like this in American. Tons better than Eleven Men Out (even though that movie came out first and was considered ground breaking). Kind of a weak movie otherwise.

    Divertida. Si no puedes con ellos lucha contra ellos, y vence!

    You don't have to have an interest in European Football (soccer) to like this film. It is all about finding your own way of living, and it is heartwarming to follow this young man Ecki through the perils of finding just that.

    What fun! Sometimes you just need a feel good movie about.... Gay Soccer!? Cool! Yes, I like this one.

    Great fun movie with gay twist - very enjoyable - worth a viewing

    I still don't like to read a movie, but this one is worth it. Not a unique story, but a familiar story with a gay "twist". FUN. And some thoughtful stuff too.

    I'm fan of Bayern Munich and can hardly support this film ;D
