Movie Reviews of Goal! - The Dream Begins
Movie Review: inspiring soccer movie for kids & adults
Summary: 4 Stars
this is one of those rare sports movies that's entertaining and inspiring for kids and adults. i rate it as a well above-average story of a young mexican-american who gets a chance to try out with new castle united. my 7 and 10 year old, both soccer players, loved it!
Movie Review: Another Feel Good Sports Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
In the style of the Rookie and Invincible, Goal! is the same type of movie where an amateur has dreams of going pro. This was a good movie, not great. It was way to long and had a lot of story that could be left out.Movie Review: Review of "The Goal"
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a very good movie. If you like soccer, you will like the intense game footage. If you are not so into soccer, it still has a really good storyline.Movie Review: A treat for all soccer moms!
Summary: 4 Stars
A great family film even if your child doesn't play soccer (football in England). Entertains while providing a positive message. Perfect for Friday nights!Movie Review: Pretty Typical Sports Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
This one is a pretty typical sports movie. I'm not saying that as a bad thing--if you enjoy a sports related movie, you'll probably like this one. But it's not something you need to rush out and see.
Santiago is a Mexican kid you illegally comes to the US with his family. While playing soccer in a park he gets noticed by a former scout from England who promises to get him a tryout with Newcastle United. Of course there are obstacles for Santiago, including a lack of funds and a dad who just wants his son to give up on his dream and help him start his own lawn service company. Santiago overcomes these obstacles, as well as some the film doesn't tackle--like how does he get a passport to get into England?
If you think things are easy once he makes it to the tryout then you obviously haven't seen many sports films. Santiago has several screw ups that almost prevent him from making the team. The plot of the film is whether or not Santiago will overcome these extra obstacles (with the help of a girl and a player looking for redemption) and make it onto the field so he can triumph in a big game.
Again, you can probably figure out where this one is going in the first five minutes, but that doesn't make it a bad movie. The movie may lack originality, but it's still entertaining--especially if you follow soccer and can enjoy cameos from Zidane and Beckham.
