Movie Reviews of Goal! - The Dream BeginsMovie Review: Knowing the happy end right from the beginning does not spoil the movie Summary: 5 Stars
A movie in which the happy ending is a given just when you hear its title. Yet this movie captures your interest and it keeps you at the edge of your sit because it s done in a very realistic way. Until Santiago reaches his GOAL he has to overcome big obstacles. It is not so much the heartless kicks he gets and falling with his face on the mud. It is the way he is taught from his father to take things in life. A rather fatalistic way of thinking, which does not allow him to follow his dreams and believe in himself and in his abilities. The moment he gets rid of this mind frame is the turning point. From that moment on the way to success is wide open. A good reminder for parents never to set limits to the dreams of their kids.
The movie also very realistically portrays how easy it is for kids that suddenly find themselves with millions and with fame to loose their focus and end up in oblivion (frying burgers is fine) but addicted to drugs and alcohol is really sad.
This is a very entertaining movie for the whole family.
