Días de fútbol

When I heard about this movie I thought was going to be a bad one. I was wrong. It is a delightful comedy that gets your attention from the very beginning. I had a great time and I laugh a lot while watching this movie. It's a simple comedy that works, without any other pretension. Ernesto Alterio as Antonio is just amazing. You cannot stop laughing when you see him. This is the kind of movie you want to watch with your friends. And don't worry, it's not about football.

A well acted, so so crafted, movie that should be considered as a return in form to the typical Spanish comedy of yesteryear. Its plot, a straightforward story about a group of friends that play soccer together, echoes the genre comedies of Pedro Lazaga, Tony Leblanc, Maso, etc. As those films it may not be too original, but it gets quite well the spirit of its time. The characters are true to its time and place and you can imagine them as real persons. As in those films also, acting is brilliant, even bit players shine, dialogs are funny. Specially moving are Natalia Verbeke (I must confess I'm a fan) and Ernesto ALterio, that carries most of the film on his ex-convict role.

This is a exceptional movie, that talks about the relations of a group of Spanish friends who decided to join a football team trying to help one guy who has just left prison.

you can stop laughing , it's impossible it's too funny.

Ernesto Alterio shows again his incredible way to make people laugh, he's the actor of "The other side of the bed" y " The method"(English translation of the original title in Spanish) another incredible movies...

I strongly recommend you that film because represents the genuine humor of the Spanish society.

The characters in this film are all lovable despite being rather pathetic and silly as they stumble through young adulthood, all the while probably making some of the biggest choices and decisions of their lives. They all act like idiots, but you have to love them for not being afraid to be silly and not being immune to being made to look idiotic.

I didn't expect to like "Días de Fútbol" because of the title, but it is really barely about Fútbol, and more about the players of one particularly clumsy team of friends.

I think if there is a message to this film, it is mainly to show how difficult, yet worthwhile relationships can be. This is a romantic comedy involving several couples, many characters and a lot of silliness.

The film that most certainly inspired the Peruvian film 'Once Machos' - it's allright - they all overact though... but it's inoffensive enough and if you want to watch a movie you might not have come across from Spain and you have a spare hour and a half then give it a go, who knows, you might like it!
