Very Enjoyable

films42

I stumbled upon this film playing on cable one afternoon & much to my own surprise, I was hooked.  It's very well done & very enjoyable, even for those of us who have no clue about sports in general, much less the details of British soccer championships.  Only when the credits came up @ the end, did I know that Nick Hornsby of HIGH FIDELITY fame was behind it.  I patted myself on the back for letting my own good judgment overcome any snobbish preconceptions.  (Of course the initial hook was seeing Colin Firth's face on the screen.  The guy definitely has under-used leading man potential!!!)
