Best movie ever!

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

A wonderful and astonishing account of six young boys who worked through the youth team into the most successful English club in recent times by winning the treble. Poignant, moving and inspirational. The success of Manchester United in 1992 somehow expelling the ghosts of the tragc loss in the Munich accident of 1958.Sadly the cast was inexplicably misguided by including Tony Blair, several times as a commentator. Perhaps the equivalent of putting marmite on ice cream or Trump as a guest on Match of the Day. It's a serious stretch of the imagination to assume his presence would enhance the production. To include such an unsavoury choice of character is bonkers. Otherwise and highly inspirational watch.

I suppose this contains spoilers but if you're a United fan and don't know what this is about you should hang your head in shame :DRyan Giggs, David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt, Gary Neville and Phil Neville The Boss got rid of a few big stars like Mark Hughes, Andrei Kanchelskis and Paul Ince because they thought they were bigger than the club - Paul Parker retired through injury - they were replaced by a bunch of kids even most United fans had never heard of Probably the greatest bunch of footballers ever to come through at one time at any club - documentary shows how down to earth they still are even after earning millions and how much they have remained friends - highlights the early days when Hansen said "You'll never win anything with kids"(we won the double that year) to the 1998/99 season when we won the treble against all the odds - from the Great Dane's penalty save to Giggsy's goal in the semi-final replay of the FA Cup when we were down to 10 men, the last league game of the season v Spurs when we went 1-0 down and nothing seemed to go right and the comeback to win 2-1 to clinch the Premier title, the FA Cup final victory against Toon when we lost inspirational captain Keano after 20 minutes (and won 2-0) and the incredible night in Barcelona when we were 1-0 to Bayern until the 92nd minute - by the 94th we were 2-1 up Had me blubbing like a little girl when Ole poked in that 2nd v Bayern (then and now) - great times - great memories - great players :)Thank you lads :)

Football documentary following the fortunes of six Manchester United players and how they became legends at the club.I'm not a Manchester United fan but this is an enjoyable and well put together film that shows the camaraderie and passion these young men had as they became global names within the game.There is a lack of footage at times and I would have preferred to know more like when Beckham left for Real Madrid and the dynamics within the dressing with new players arriving but the six players come across well and have some entertaining and interesting anecdotes especially about "that night in Barcelona".The inclusion of Clive Tyldesley adding commentary to a few clips wasn't necessary and neither is Tony Blair's input but Danny Boyle and Mani give good accounts.

I rarely write reviews for movies or TV shows that I've watched however I felt completely and utterly compelled to share what I thought about this documentary. Being in my late 20's I grew up supporting UTD so watching all my memories of my beloved football team being brought to a motion picture was just something I couldn't miss. This docu' is not just about the players themselves but also an insight into the life of Mancunians in the 90's era. My favorite all time band is the Stone Roses and their music is very prominent throughout making the viewing extra enjoyable. After about 10 minutes into the film I knew how it was going to culminate and of course it was any Manchester United favorite sporting memory- the famous treble. The screenplay leading up to finale of this movie gave me goosebumps as I can easily relive that momentus occasion in mind seeing the players and manager celebrate. As a massive supporter of this club this is a must see. I cannot fault it in any manner whatsoever so it gets a solid 10/10 for me.
