SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Schakel Although this is clearly low budget, and full of sports clichés (also a goofy plot idea), the music is wonderful, and I thoroughly enjoyed the show. The opening scene to "Hot Love" by T Rex hooked me, and the scene of the underdog team taking the field is also a delight. "FBI" by The Shadows is a musical treasure! I rarely notice music in movies, but this show had me checking all the musical credits at the end. The love story is more than a bit juvenile, but again it is well-intended, and it did not detract from the story. Sometimes coarse language will put off some viewers, but this is still a good-hearted movie. "Fever Pitch" is of course a better soccer show, and this will never be remade as a baseball show, but you do not need to be a soccer fan to enjoy it.

takemeout This is a fantastic film set in a fictional location in the Scottish Highlands. Basically it is about two pub teams and a historic rivalry based on a game of football. Benny's bar are really the "good guys", but are crap at football. L'Bistro is the posh upper class pub, but they are the "bad guys". The teams have played 99 games in a row, and if they loose the 100th game, they also loose the pub, and their livelihood. This film does have a lot of bad write ups, but I think it is a brilliant film. Simple, yes. Predictable, yes. But still a great film. The only drawback is few of the cast are actually Scottish, and we have to listen to their painfully poor Scottish accents.

Claudio Carvalho Wullie Smith (Max Beesley) is a handicapped young man with a serious trauma: his brother Johnny died when they were young while climbing a mountain because of his fault. He works as a milkman in a tiny city in Scotland and has a crush on Rosemary Bailey (Laura Fraser). However, he is too shy to declare his love to her. Every night, Wullie meets his friends in a pub called `Bennys'. This place is the fruit of a bet made one hundred years ago, against another pub, `Le Bistro'. In that time, their owners firmed a stake: Bennys would never win Le Bistro in one hundred soccer games along one hundred years. The winner of the bet would take possession of both pubs. In the present, Bennys has lost the previous ninety-nine games, and needs desperately to win the last game. I bought this DVD maybe two years ago in a sale offer, and I have not paid attention to it until today. I have just seen it, and it is a delightful and exciting movie. The story is indeed a comedy, but has also drama and romance. The cast has a great performance and makes the viewer cheers in many situations. I am Brazilian, land of the soccer (The British invented this game, and we improved it), and five times world champion, and I love soccer. This movie has absurd, such as the couch, who is handicap, decides the game shooting a penalty in the end of the match, but who is caring to that? The important thing is `the good guys' win `the bad guys', and this is achieved. It is a very funny situation, because in Brazil, we soccer fans have a saying, which is: `Penalty is so important that the president of the club should be responsible for shooting it'. Therefore, for us Brazilians, it is very funny the foregoing mentioned situation. Pierce Brosnan has a surprisingly participation in the end of the story. This film is highly recommended for fans of soccer. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): `A Aposta' (`The Bet')

adrianus cool movie, it appears as if there's only 5 'buildings' in this movie, but that's oke, it suits the budget. The story is simple yet viewable to everyone, no matter what age.Even though I can imagine that some will find Sam Fox is still hot in this film :-) The well-known actors weren't actually needed, but it gave a nice touch to the film. After all, Pierce Brosnan is one of the producers.Sometimes it's very relaxing to have a look at a movie that's not to complicated but interesting, cause it's about a village somewhere where everyone knows each other and pub challenges are topic of the year.Go and see this movie, you won't regret it.
