Ghoulumbe Better than most people think

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

rollingdoughnut Five English teenagers from diverse backgrounds hatch a plan to travel from New York City to Buenos Aires to meet their hero, Diego Maradona. All are masters of "freestyle football" – an extreme form of keepie-uppie. The plan is to finance the road trip by busking, staging impromptu street exhibitions in the cities of North and South America. There's some amazing skill on display here - notably juggling with various fruits and vegetables in a market in Guatemala City (I think). But rather than the football, the film focuses on the lads' motivations, and the growing tensions that threaten to derail their efforts as they edge closer to their goal. A rather strange documentary, but engrossing.

nut-26 Take five ordinary lads off the street add a film crew follow them on a road trip. Doesn't really make for an enjoyable movie you think. Well you'd be wrong, (the gang) set off in search of a dream with only raw talent and passion, no cash. What follows is an inspiring journey as the film crew take us through the ups and downs of our 5 dreamers. As the film unfolds we get more insight into each of the 5 members and why they want to achieve the goal. The skills on display you can only marvel at, the determination and bottle shown by the gang is inspiring. If you want to watch something a little different, that will have you enthralled and moved watch this movie..

joshygordon2 Trailer is enough to do it for any football/soccer fan i think! BUT regardless of football, is a real emotional roller-coaster and you feel like you are part of the film, egging them on. I have been to documentary like films before and not enjoyed them but not the case with this one. Such great entertainment and such a good idea. 1 of those films you can watch again and again and again! NOW forgetting the fact that this is a film, those skills are unbelievable! I mean how do they do it! Id pay to watch them for 90 minutes let alone my beloved arsenal. haha by the way, i hope there is a sequel to this!...a basketball version or something - in the hands of jordan!

Jordan Birken i was at a pre-screening of this film last week and it blew me away. as an American, i wasn't sure what to expect, but at about 20 minutes in i came to see this story as Hoop Dreams with a twist. the story is of five teens who use a lifetimes' worth of passion, skills and wares and engage in soccer street performances (which, by themselves, are worth the price of admission) to raise enough money to trek down to buenos aires to meet their idol, diego maradona. the story is touching and beautiful in its simplicity -- what these boys are willing to go through to meet their idol, without the lure of achieving fortune or fame, makes their quest entirely pure -- the same type of quest that as children made us want to play sports in the first place. for me, the boys' motivation really rang true. also, their trek to meet maradona is totally captivating and has all the hallmarks of a cool, road trip movie. the boys' journey is from nyc to buenos aires through Latin America. it's very interesting how they come together and how their growth as individuals and as a unit impacts certain decisions as they get closer to achieving their goal. their journey is in constant motion, given the host of countries they have to travel through, and it gives the film a pacing that allows the story to fly by. i was shocked to be told the movie was 100 minutes. it feels like it's an hour long. last but definitely not least, as i mentioned the street performances are, by themselves, worth the price of admission. i've never seen stuff like what these kids pull off effortlessly and with regularity. just unreal! this is a must see film and it's definitely a story that has a universal quality and appeal to it; it's funny, entertaining and touching. A great film ...
