A refreshing change from gritty gangster movies that often are the the staple of indie British films - this exists as the pola opposite, a film about friendship, young romance, change and actually very little football - a plus for me.
I've watched this film with people of varying ages (12 up to 65) and they all enjoyed it.
I'd recommend giving it a go, even if you dislike football, as this film is funny and sincere - and this is becoming hard to find these days.
