Movie Reviews of Goal! - The Dream Begins
Movie Review: Inspiring soccer movie
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a rags to riches story in which a young Mexican man is transported from the barrios of Los Angeles to the soccer fields of England. It is a matter of being at the right place at the right time, when a former soccer player and scout spots Santiago Munez at a local match in L.A. and arranges a try-out for him. Battling asthma and culture shock, Santiago goes from the balmy weather of southern California to the freezing rain in England. He misses his family, especially his younger brother and his grandmother, but his angry father refuses to talk to him on the phone and nurses a grudge about Santiago leaving home without telling him. Kuno Becker plays the likeable hero and he'll have you cheering him every step of the way. One criticism I have is that the movie doesn't show much of what makes Santiago great and his promotion through the ranks often comes as a surprise. Nevertheless, this is an entertaining, "feel good" movie.Movie Review: Rent it. Buy it.
Summary: 4 Stars
If you like movies like Hoosiers and Rudy, you will love this film. Santiago Muñez is a very gifted young immigrant with an impossible dream--to play soccer for a world class team. It's a story filled with heart and determination. It will inspire and challenge you to reach for your own dreams and go after them with character and integrity. This is a great film. I recommend it. Rent it. Watch it. Buy it and you can enjoy it again and again. Beware, the sequel is not very good.

Movie Review: A good soccer movie.
Summary: 4 Stars
There aren't a whole lot of options out there for soccer fans, which makes this movie all the more worth seeing!
I found myself surprised ... I was prepared for a sappy story with all the predictable cliches. Rags to riches, kid works hard, boy gets girl, yadda yadda. What I didn't expect was above average acting, great locations (Newcastle and London), realistic soccer action, and even a few twists and turns.
It's not the greatest film ever made, but it is certainly above average. Enjoy!
Movie Review: Dreams can come true
Summary: 4 Stars
I have this movie on Blue Ray and the quality was absolutely fantastic as AI am sure is the standard format. All that aside this movie is fantastic, it has a way of pulling you into the movie and making you feel how Santiago must have felt during the final game of the movie and how hard he worked to get there. Its a real tribute to people who step out there on there own with only there dreams to make it happen.Movie Review: nice family film--good feel and entertaining soccer
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought this and a couple of others for my soccer-obsessed, 12-yo son. He's seen it about 12 times, since Christmas. Loves it!! We've watched it with him, a couple of times. I was surprisingly pleased at the story's holding my interest, the charm of the lead actor, and that it made watching a bit of soccer pretty exciting. Little corny, in places, but all in all, a nice film.
